1) Front Suspension (Macperson Strut Type)
Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle.
Macperson strut type suspension is the independent suspension which has the spring on the strut
integrated with shock absorber. The lower arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is
installed on the knuckle to support the tire. This type of suspension is normally applied to the vehicle with
monocoque body, especially on the front wheel drive type. The upper part with spring is mounted at
body mount and the strut with shock absorber is linked on the steering knuckle.
Advantages ▶
Compact and simple design
Stable wheel alignment
Good load distribution and easy installation
Less effect from tire up/down movement 1.

Disadvantages ▶
Comparatively weak to the impact from road surface and lateral shock due to long strut and single
swing arm 1.

2) Rear Suspension (Multi-link Type)
Multi-link type suspension is the independent suspension. It provides good ride comfort and drivability by
reducing the coil spring weight. Also, it increases the space for passenger compartment by lowering the
floor.
This type of suspension consists of multiple links such as trailing arm, upper arm, lower arm and track
rod.

1. OVERVIEW
Even though a driver cuts off the power, while driving, the vehicle continues to move due to the law of
inertia. Therefore, a braking device is needed to stop the vehicle. The brake system normally uses the
frictional discs that converts the kinetic energy to the thermal energy by frictional operation. The brake
system consists of the brake disc (front wheel), brake disc or drum (rear wheel), parking brake
(mechanical type), master cylinder, booster, pedal and supply lines (pipes and hoses).
Hydraulic brake ▶
Brake pedal ▶This system uses the leverage effect and Pascal's
principle. When depressing the brake pedal, the
pedal pressure is increased by booster and is
delivered to master cylinder to generate hydraulic
pressure. The hydraulic pressure generated by
the master cylinder is delivered to the brake
caliper through the brake pipes or hoses. This
hydraulic pressure pushes the brake calipers,
accordingly the caliper pads are contacted to
brake disc to generate the braking force.
Brake pedal uses the leverage effect to apply
bigger force to the brake master cylinder.
