suspension systems
Vehicle bounce absorbers
Suspension systems are the components that connect a vehicle to its wheels, absorbing shocks from uneven surfaces to provide a smoother ride and better handling.
Springs, shock absorbers, and linkages work together to keep tires in contact with the road while isolating passengers from bumps and vibrations.
The term extends to any mechanism designed to cushion or support weight while allowing controlled movement.
