Study Notes
Front Suspension Components
-
Upper Control Arm: Connects vehicle frame to wheels, enabling independent vertical motion of wheels through a hinge mechanism.
-
Strut Assembly: Integrates a shock absorber and coil spring to effectively absorb shocks from the road surface, enhancing ride comfort.
-
Upper Ball Joint: Acts as a spherical bearing connecting the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, facilitating smooth movement and articulation.
-
Steering Knuckle: A crucial component that links the wheel to the suspension system and tie rod ends, enabling steering functionality.
-
Lower Control Arm: Similar to the upper control arm, this lower link allows the wheels to move independently of the chassis while providing structural support.
-
Hub and Bearing: Essential for wheel attachment to the vehicle, this assembly permits the rotational motion necessary for driving.
-
Lower Ball Joint: Functions as a spherical bearing similar to the upper ball joint, connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing for movement and stability in the suspension system.
