**Steering Fundamentals** What is the purpose of the **Steering System**? - - - - **Steering Column:** Consists of the steering wheel, steering shaft, column, ignition key mechanism and sometimes, a flexible coupling and a universal joint **Steering System Types** **Rack And Pinion** - - - **Steering Angles** -  **Linkage** - - **Ball Sockets** - - -  **Power Steering** - - - **Suspension Fundamentals** **What are the functions of a vehicle's suspension?** - - - - - - - - **What is the main part of a suspension that helps achieve ride comfort?** **Shock absorbers:** **They work by converting the kinetic energy from the spring into heat, which is then dissipated into the air. Shock absorbers are designed to reduce the impact of road shocks and vibrations on the vehicle, making the ride smoother and more comfortable.** **Steering Types:** - - - **Functions of a Spring:** - - **Example:**  **What is considered "un-sprung weight"?** **All the weight that is not supported by the springs** - - - - **Example:** **Other Suspension Parts:** **Control Arms** - -  **Steering Knuckle** - - **Ball Joints** - -  **Shock Absorber** - - - **Sway Bar/ Stabilizer Bar** - - - -
