Coil spring
The coil spring is made by
winding solid steel rod to form
the coil shape. Its energy
absorption rate per weight is
higher than that of the leaf spring
and it allows to absorb small
vibration properly resulted in
keeping the ride comforts.
Therefore, it's difficult to make
an effect on vibration damping
because there is not any friction
between coils.

If the spring with lower spring constant is applied on the vehicle in order to increase the "ride
comforts", the vehicle's slope increases on turning due to the centrifugal force. Because its trend
increases for the independent suspension system, the stabilizer bar should be applied to the
system in order to make a balance the vehicle.
The stabilizer bar is a certain type
of torsion bar. Its both ends are
connected to the control arm and
the its center area is mounted to
the body frame. It is not activated
when both wheels are moving up
or down simultaneously. However,
it minimizes the vehicle's slope
when each wheel moves up or
down independently.
The lower arm relieves the load to knuckle.
This enables to absorb the various impacts
according to the load shapes and to ensure
the drivability.
