Due to the triumphant announcement of our team qualifying for FSUK, we decided to postpone yesterday’s episode of 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to today. That’s right, we are back with another breathtaking episode, and it’s all about – 𝑺𝒖𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.
This week, we will break down and explain to you the 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 of an automobile. Don’t miss out on the phenomenal visual brought to you by Enigmatter studios, and do refer to the caption if you want to learn more!

The 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗿 is a part of many automobile suspensions that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities.
A 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗿 or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device that absorbs and damp shock impulses by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another dissipating form of energy.
The automobile 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 support the total weight, resist the strains created during turning and transmit the driving torque for propelling and braking torque for retarding.
The 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most humans.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀, the core of the front suspension system, are the link that connects the front wheels to the rest of the car. One end connects to the wheel assembly, and the other end connects to the automobile’s framework.
𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴, done with the help of strut bar, strut brace, or strut tower brace (STB), provides extra stiffness to the other suspension components. It redistributes the forces generated during cornering, resulting in less chassis flex and more consistent geometry, further resulting in more predictable handling and a more “playful” car.
The 𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 is a structure for mounting a suspension on a car body. A shock absorber and an upper arm connected to a steering knuckle and extending inward, are supported by a bracket.
