The main 3 suspension components...
- Linkages: the bars and brackets that support the wheels, springs, and shock absorbers
- Springs: absorb shock from bumpy and uneven terrain. The most common types of springs used in suspension include coil springs (compress under load), torsion bars (twist under load), and leaf springs (flexes under load)
- Shock absorbers: dampening tools used to dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. Most commonly used are hydraulic cylinders
