ABSTRACT
ii
Suspension system of an automobile separates the wheel and axle assembly of the
automobile from its body. Main function of the suspension system is to isolate the body of
the vehicle from shocks and vibrations generated due to irregularities on the surface of
roads. Shock absorbers are provided in the vehicles for this purpose. It is in the form of
spring and damper. The suspension system is provided both on front end and rear end of the
vehicle. A suspension system also maintains the stability of the vehicle in pitching or
rolling when vehicle is in motion. Suspension system is the term given to the system of
springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connect a vehicle to its wheels. When a tire hits
an obstruction, there is a reaction force and the suspension system tries to reduce this force.
The size of this reaction force depends on the unsprung mass at each wheel assembly. In
general, the larger the ratio of sprung weight to unsprung weight, the less the body and
vehicle occupants are affected by bumps, dips, and other surface imperfections such as
small bridges. A large sprung weight to unsprung weight ratio can also impact vehicle
control.
