2. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   These absorb the impact far more effectively than a solid rubber bump-stop will, essential, because a rubber bump-stop is considered a "last-ditch" emergency insulator for the occasional accidental bottoming of the suspension; it is entirely insufficient to absorb repeated and heavy bottoming, such as a high-speed off-road vehicle encounters.

3. Leaf spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_spring

   Originally called a laminated or carriage spring, and sometimes referred to as a semi-elliptical spring, elliptical spring, or cart spring, it is one of the oldest forms of vehicle suspension. A leaf spring is one or more narrow, arc-shaped, thin plates that are attached to the axle and chassis in a way that allows the leaf spring to flex ...

4. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Spring-based shock absorbers commonly use coil springs or leaf springs, though torsion bars are used in torsional shocks as well. Ideal springs alone, however, are not shock absorbers, as springs only store and do not dissipate or absorb energy. Vehicles typically employ both hydraulic shock absorbers and springs or torsion bars. In this ...

6. Transverse leaf spring front suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_leaf_spring...

   The axle receives its vertical and transverse support from a transverse leaf spring (leaf springs were often used for support in more than one direction), and its longitudinal support from fore-aft links sometimes called "radius rods" which are attached (via pivots) to the ends of the axle at their forward end and to the sides of the chassis ...

7. Corvette leaf spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvette_leaf_spring

   A Corvette leaf spring is a type of independent suspension that utilizes a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) mono-leaf spring instead of more conventional coil springs. It is named after the Chevrolet Corvette , [ 1 ] the American sports car for which it was originally developed and first utilized.
