Automobile Suspension System

The Suspension System

The Suspension System serves two basic functions. Firstly, Improving Road Isolation from road noises, bumps and vibrations by absorbing and dampening shocks acting on Vehicle frame, due to irregularities in flatness of road, it provides for good feel experience of smooth undisturbed Ride quality for those travelling inside passenger compartment of the Vehicle.

Secondly, the Suspension System maximizes Vehicle tires contact with the surface of road, enhancing Road Holding ability of Vehicle, good road grip is needed for stable steering, braking and accelerating Vehicle safely. By maximizing friction between Vehicle tires and road surface, suspension system is able to minimize Vehicle weight transfer from side to side or from front to back during acceleration and braking. These weight transfers can reduce Vehicles ability to grip the road.

During Cornering or when Vehicle takes a sharp, fast turn, then centrifugal forces acts on it pushing its Center of Gravity outside, raising one end and lowering other end. This leads to body roll. The Suspension System minimizes this body roll by transferring the weight of the Vehicle from high side to low side during fast turning.

The basic components of the Suspension System are:
# CONTROL ARM
# CONTROL ARM BUSHING
# STRUT ROD
# BALL JOINTS
# SHOCK OBSERVER OR STRUT
# STABILIZER LINK
# SPRING

Atek World Steering System for Automobile

THE STEERING SYSTEM 

The Steering System allows the operator to navigate and turn the vehicle along the road as desired. The basic aim of steering is to ensure that the wheels are pointing in the desired direction turning steering wheel towards left or right.

The steering mechanism functions to change the rotary movement of the steering wheel into straight-line motion. The steering mechanism leverage and multiples driver effort making steering Vehicle wheels easier, it also absorbs road vibrations and prevents them from getting transmitted to driver hands.

The Steering System achieves its purpose as mentioned in Para 1 and 2 above through different types of mechanical linkages.

Basic types of Steering linkages with parts:
Rack and Pinion Linkage, Parallel Steering Linkage & Axle Beam Steering Linkage are some of different type of Automotive Steering Linkages.

Common Steering Parts are:-
Steering Wheel, Steering Column, Steering Gear, Pinion Gear, Rack Ends, Inner Ball Joints, outer ball Joints, Tie Rod Ends, Suspension Ball Joints, Spindle, Pitman Arm, Centre Link, Sleeve Assembly, Steering Arm, Idler Arm, Upper Universal Joints, Link Shaft, Lower Universal Joints, Steering Box, Axle Beam, Drop Arm, Drag Link, Drag Link Arm, King pin, Track Rod Ends, Track Rod Joints, Track Rod, Spring, Steering Damper and Wheels.

Auto Parts Stabilizer Links

Stabilizer links act as link connecting to other parts of Vehicle that take much of the punishment as it passes over pot holes, bumps and other road imperfections. The stabilizer bar holds pairs of wheels connected, while stabilizer links hook this larger piece with arms that go up to the wheels themselves. Ball joint connections enable turning and moving suspension during travel.

While travelling on and bumpy roads full of, suspension needs to withstand shocks, so Stabilizer links employ cast iron, steel and alloy in their construction.

Defective Stabilizer Links affect steering, ride and fuel efficiency. Symptoms include a creaking or screeching noise, as Vehicle pass over the road imperfections, wobbling, skip and "dead zones” in steering. Broken stabilizer links can lead to loss of Steering control and Body Roll.

Most have at least one ball joint for connecting with adjacent suspension components. A minority of stabilizer links lack ball joints altogether. Japanese and European car makers often employ this flat type
