The suspension system connects a vehicle to its wheels using springs, shock absorbers, and linkages. It serves two purposes - protecting the vehicle and cargo from damage while contributing to handling and braking. The suspension system supports the vehicle's weight, provides a smooth ride, and keeps the tires firmly on the road. There are different types of suspension systems including dependent, independent, coil spring, and leaf spring systems.
