1. OVERVIEW
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that
connects a vehicle to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose ? contributing to the
vehicle's road holding/handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and
keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps,
and vibrations, etc. These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions involves
finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact
with the road surface as much as possible, because all the forces acting on the vehicle do so
through the contact patches of the tires. The design of front and rear suspension of a vehicle
may be different.
