SUSPENSION SYSTEM Parts which are performing the function of isolating the automobile from road shocks(which may be in the form of bounce, pitch, roll or yaw) are collectively called as suspension system.  The suspension system of an automobile is one which separates the wheel/axle Assembly from the body and also maintain the contact between tyre and road surface. It consists of spring and damper. Objectives of Suspension system Prevent the road shocks being transmitted to the vehicle components. To prevent the occupants from road shocks and to give a comfortable ride. To make sure the stability of the vehicle during pitching, rolling and yawing motions. Basic considerations during designing of the springs 1.Vertical loading During bump or pit, it is subjected to tensile compressive and bending loads. These are observed by the elastic compression, shear, bending or twisting of the spring. The front springing system should vibrate with less frequency tha
