Automobile Suspension System
By Er D S Phapale
B.E. Automobile, M.E. Cad/Cam(Appear)
Function Suspension System
•Supports the weight.
•Provides a smooth ride.
•Allows rapid cornering without extreme
body roll.
•Keeps tires in firm contact with the road.
•Prevents excessive body squat.

•Prevents excessive body dive.
•Allows front wheels to turn side-to-side for steering.
•Works with the steering system to keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Types of Suspension System

1.Non-independent/Rigid suspension has both right and left wheel attached to the
same solid axle. When one wheel hits a bump in the road, its upward movement
causes a slight tilt of the other wheel.

2.Independent suspension allows one wheel to move up and down with minimal
effect to the other.

Nonindependent
Suspension System

Coil spring is the most common type of spring found on modern vehicles.
Leaf springs are now limited to the rear of some cars.
Types of Springs
A. Coil spring
B. Leaf spring
C. Air spring
D. Torsion bar
Suspension System
Basic Parts

Control arm – movable lever that fastens
the steering knuckle to the vehicle’s
body or frame.

Steering Knuckle – provides a spindle or
bearing support for the wheel hub, bearings
and wheel assembly.
1 Wishbone Suspension
The suspension must be
designed in such a way as to
keep the wheel upright for
maximum tyre contact
(vehicle control) and to
minimize tyre wear.

Upper wishbone

The upper wishbone is
short and the lower
wishbone is longer.
Both wishbones pivot points
and lengths are calculated to
provide the best operating
angle for a given suspension
movement.
Lower wishbone

Advantages & Disadvantages of
Wishbone type independent suspension
Advantages
•Ride quality is good.
•Improve the steering
preciseness since the
wheel movement are not
link
•Ground clearance
increase
Applications:-SUV,CARS

Disadvantages
•Initial cost is more
•Maintenance cost is more.
•Required frequent wheel
alignment otherwise increase
tyre wear.
2 MacPherson Strut
This is a very popular and efficient form of
suspension. It has one control arm and a strut
assembly. A coil spring and shock absorber
will normally form parts of the strut assembly.

Coil springs may be mounted on
the control arm instead of being
around the strut. On this type,
the shock absorber connects
the knuckle to the frame.

MacPherson Strut Suspension
The top of the strut is bolted to
a reinforced section of the
frame structure.

Steering knuckle

The lower end of the strut is
attached to a steering knuckle.

The control arm is also attached
to the steering knuckle.

Frame

The control arms are mounted on
a cradle section of the frame.
An anti-roll bar links the two
control arms together to reduce
sway (body roll).

Advantages

Disadvantages

•Light in weight.
•Not suitable for Heavy motor
•Camber does not change due vehicle.
•Load caring capacity is less.
to up & movement of wheels
•Maximum Engine compartment
available.
•Maintenance cost is less.
•Initial cost is less.
•Ride comfort is more.
•Improve road safety.

Applications:-CARS
Solid Rear Axle Suspension
This type of rear suspension
is typical for a rear-wheel
drive vehicle.

Shock absorber
Coil
springs

The axle is inside a
solid housing.
The shock
absorbers are
mounted between the
solid axle and the frame.

Axle housing

Stabilizer bar

The springs are arranged between the
axle housing and the frame of the vehicle.

Trailing arm

Trailing arms, or links, hold the rear axle in position.
A stabilizer bar and track bar are included to add vehicle stability.

Independent Suspension System Parts
Basic Parts
Ball Joints – swivel joints that allow
control arm and steering knuckle to
move up and down and side to side.

Springs – supports the weight of the
vehicle; permits the control arm and
Wheel to move up and down.
Shock absorbers or dampeners – keeps
the suspension from continuing to bounce
after spring compression and extension.

Control arm bushing – sleeves that
allows the control arm to swing
up and down on the frame.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Air
suspension
Advantages
•Variable space for wheel
deflection is put for optimum
use for automatic height control
•Head light alignment does not
vary due to different loading
condition.
•It improve the ride comfort.
•Reduce noise in suspension
system.

Applications:- Volvo Buses

Disadvantages
•Higher initial cost
•Occupies more space.
•Maintenance cost is more
•Due lack of friction damping is
necessary due road shock
Torsion Bar

The bar resists twisting action and acts
like a conventional spring
Torsion bar (large spring rod)

•One end is attached to the frame and the other to the lower control arm.
•Up and down of the suspension system twists the torsion bar.
•It will then try to return to its original shape, moving the control arm to its
original place.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Torsion
bar suspension
Advantages

•Light in weight.
•Less space
occupies .
•Its maintenance cost
is less.
•Initial cost is less.
•Ride comfort is more.

Disadvantages
•It does not take accelerate &
Braking thrust so required
additional linkages
•Due lack of friction damping is
necessary due road shock
•

Applications:-SUV Tata Safari, Tempo
Trax
Suspension System
Shock absorbers

•Limits spring compression-extension
movements to smooth the vehicle’s ride.

•Without shock absorbers, the vehicle
would continue to bounce up and down
long after striking dip or hump in the road.

Sway Bar (Stabilizer Bar)

•
•

•

Sway bar links connect the bar to the control arms
The function of a sway bar is usually to prevent weight transfer from one side to the
other in cornering situations. By preventing weight transfer, the inside wheel in a
corner maintains more of its static weight.
The sway bars main function is to equalize the suspension springs mainly when
cornering. Most sway bars are U-shaped and have two rubber bushings mounted in
metal brackets. Some sway bars also have rubber grommets on the end of the bars.
The rubber bushings will stay stationary as the sway bar flexes. The sway bar
bushings can wear out and periodically applying a lubricant can help to prolong their
usefulness
Suspension System
Sway Bar (Stabilizer Bar)

•Used to keep the body from leaning excessively in sharp turns.
•Fastened to lower control arms. (rubber bushings are used)
•During cornering, centrifugal force makes the outside of body drop and inside raise.
•The bar’s resistance to twisting motion limits body lean in corners.
Advantages of stabilliaser bar
Advantages
•It prevent the road shocks
•To provide safe guard to
occupied & passenger
•To provide stability to vehicle
during rolling pitching bouncing
yawing

Advantages & Disadvantages of Wishbone type independent suspension Advantages •Ride quality is good. •Improve the steering preciseness since the wheel movement are not link •Ground clearance increase Applications:-SUV,CARS Disadvantages •Initial cost is more •Maintenance cost is more. •Required frequent wheel alignment otherwise increase tyre wear.
  • 12. 2 MacPherson Strut This is a very popular and efficient form of suspension. It has one control arm and a strut assembly. A coil spring and shock absorber will normally form parts of the strut assembly. Coil springs may be mounted on the control arm instead of being around the strut. On this type, the shock absorber connects the knuckle to the frame. Strut assembly Frame Shock absorber Knuckle This type of suspension strut is often also used on rear suspension systems.

  • 14. MacPherson Strut Suspension The top of the strut is bolted to a reinforced section of the frame structure. Steering knuckle The lower end of the strut is attached to a steering knuckle. Strut The control arm is also attached to the steering knuckle. Frame The control arms are mounted on a cradle section of the frame. An anti-roll bar links the two control arms together to reduce sway (body roll). Control arm Cradle Anti-roll bar 14 of 12

Advantages & Disadvantages of Macpherson strut suspension Advantages Disadvantages •Light in weight. •Not suitable for Heavy motor •Camber does not change due vehicle. •Load caring capacity is less. to up & movement of wheels •Maximum Engine compartment available. •Maintenance cost is less. •Initial cost is less. •Ride comfort is more. •Improve road safety. Applications:-CARS
  • 16. Solid Rear Axle Suspension This type of rear suspension is typical for a rear-wheel drive vehicle. Shock absorber Coil springs The axle is inside a solid housing. The shock absorbers are mounted between the solid axle and the frame. Axle housing Stabilizer bar The springs are arranged between the axle housing and the frame of the vehicle. Trailing arm Trailing arms, or links, hold the rear axle in position. A stabilizer bar and track bar are included to add vehicle stability. 16 of 12
  • 17. Independent Suspension System Parts Basic Parts Ball Joints – swivel joints that allow control arm and steering knuckle to move up and down and side to side. Springs – supports the weight of the vehicle; permits the control arm and Wheel to move up and down.
  • 18. Shock absorbers or dampeners – keeps the suspension from continuing to bounce after spring compression and extension. Control arm bushing – sleeves that allows the control arm to swing up and down on the frame.

  • 26. Torsion Bar The bar resists twisting action and acts like a conventional spring
  • 27. Torsion bar (large spring rod) •One end is attached to the frame and the other to the lower control arm. •Up and down of the suspension system twists the torsion bar. •It will then try to return to its original shape, moving the control arm to its original place.
  • 28. Advantages & Disadvantages of Torsion bar suspension Advantages •Light in weight. •Less space occupies . •Its maintenance cost is less. •Initial cost is less. •Ride comfort is more. Disadvantages •It does not take accelerate & Braking thrust so required additional linkages •Due lack of friction damping is necessary due road shock • Applications:-SUV Tata Safari, Tempo Trax
  • 29. Suspension System Shock absorbers •Limits spring compression-extension movements to smooth the vehicle’s ride. •Without shock absorbers, the vehicle would continue to bounce up and down long after striking dip or hump in the road.
  • 34. Sway Bar (Stabilizer Bar) • • • Sway bar links connect the bar to the control arms The function of a sway bar is usually to prevent weight transfer from one side to the other in cornering situations. By preventing weight transfer, the inside wheel in a corner maintains more of its static weight. The sway bars main function is to equalize the suspension springs mainly when cornering. Most sway bars are U-shaped and have two rubber bushings mounted in metal brackets. Some sway bars also have rubber grommets on the end of the bars. The rubber bushings will stay stationary as the sway bar flexes. The sway bar bushings can wear out and periodically applying a lubricant can help to prolong their usefulness
  • 35. Suspension System Sway Bar (Stabilizer Bar) •Used to keep the body from leaning excessively in sharp turns. •Fastened to lower control arms. (rubber bushings are used) •During cornering, centrifugal force makes the outside of body drop and inside raise. •The bar’s resistance to twisting motion limits body lean in corners.
  • 36. Advantages of stabilliaser bar Advantages •It prevent the road shocks •To provide safe guard to occupied & passenger •To provide stability to vehicle during rolling pitching bouncing yawing
