Suspension system is the general term for all the force-transmitting connection devices between the frame of the car and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit the force and moment acting between the wheel and the frame, and buffer the uneven road surface to the frame or body. The impact force, and attenuate the resulting vibration, to ensure the smooth driving of the car. And it has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance, and little change in front wheel positioning during driving.
