2. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Van Diemen RF01 Racing Car Suspension. Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. [1] Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, [2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of ...

3. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   When the car is too low, the height corrector valve opens to allow more fluid into the suspension cylinder (e.g., the car is loaded). When the car is too high (e.g. after unloading) fluid is returned to the system reservoir via low-pressure return lines. Height correctors act with some delay in order not to correct regular suspension movements.

4. Lever arm shock absorber - Wikipedia

   Rotary vane shock absorber, 1935. Lever arm shock absorbers were the first form of hydraulic shock absorber or damper used for car suspension.They appeared in the 1930s and were most commonly used in the 1950s and 1960s, but were replaced by telescopic shock absorbers in the 1970s. [1]

5. Active suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

   An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.

   For both ends of the car this would include the type of spring, location of the spring, and location of the shock absorbers. For the front suspension the following need to be considered The type of suspension (MacPherson strut or double wishbone suspension) Type of steering actuator (rack and pinion or recirculating ball)

7. Swing axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

   Swing axle suspension characteristics: Camber change on bumps, "jacking" on rebound. A swing axle is a simple type of independent suspension designed and patented by Edmund Rumpler in 1903 for the rear axle of rear wheel drive vehicles. This was a revolutionary invention in automotive suspension, allowing driven (powered) wheels to follow ...
