The suspension system of a vehicle plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. Over the years, automotive engineers have developed various types of suspension systems to enhance comfort, handling, and overall performance. We will go into three distinct types of suspension systems: leaf springs, elliptical springs, and modern suspensions. |Leaf Spring Leaf springs are one of the earliest and simplest forms of suspension systems. They consist of multiple layers of flexible metal strips, or "leaves," stacked on top of each other. These springs are arranged longitudinally and mounted along the axles of the vehicle. Leaf springs offer excellent load-carrying capacity and durability, making them commonly used in trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. While they provide adequate support for heavy loads, leaf springs can be relatively stiff, resulting in a rougher ride quality compared to more advanced suspension systems. |Elliptical Spring ... read more
