This document provides tasks to describe the different types of springs and suspension systems used in automotive vehicles. It asks the reader to explain the purpose and operation of shock absorbers and air shocks, and to describe the construction and operation of rear suspensions using leaf springs, coil springs, and torsion bars. It also asks the reader to describe the construction and operation of front suspensions using coil springs, MacPherson struts, leaf springs, and torsion bars, as well as to define the parts of the shock absorber and its uses.
