Rear suspension
1. SUSPENSION
The suspension is the device to connect the axle and vehicle. It absorbs the vibrations and impacts from
road surface, which enhances the comforts, driving force, braking force and drivability.

2. FRONT SUSPENSION (DOUBLE WISHBONE)
Advantage ▶
The advantage of a double wishbone suspension is that it is fairly easy to work out the effect of
moving each joint, so the kinematics of the suspension can be tuned easily and wheel motion can
be optimized.
It is also easy to work out the loads that different parts will be subjected to which allows more
optimized lightweight parts to be designed.
They also provide increasing negative camber gain all the way to full jounce travel unlike the
MacPherson strut which provides negative camber gain only at the beginning of jounce travel and
then reverses into positive camber gain at high jounce amounts. 1.

3.
Disadvantage ▶
The disadvantage is that it is slightly more complex than other systems like a MacPherson strut. Due to
the increased number of components within the suspension setup it takes much longer to service and is
heavier than an equivalent MacPherson design. 1.
2. Double wishbone suspension is an independent suspension design using two (occasionally parallel)
wishbone-shaped arms to locate the wheel. Each wishbone or arm has two mounting points to the chassis
and one joint at the knuckle. The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the wishbones to control vertical
movement. Double wishbone designs allow the engineer to carefully control the motion of the wheel
throughout suspension travel, controlling such parameters as camber angle, caster angle, toe pattern, roll
center height, scrub radius, scuff and more.

3. REAR SUSPENSION (MULTI LINK TYPE)
Multi-link (5-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 coil spring, shock absorber,
upper and lower arms, lateral rod and stabilizer bar.

2) Camber
The angle between the center line of the tire and the vertical line when viewed from the front of the
vehicle
Positive camber: Top of the tire is tilted outward ▶
Advantages: The axle is not bent when it is loaded.
The force required to operate the steering wheel is reduced due to smaller
contact area (or load area) of the tire.
Restoring force of the steering wheel is gained (when turning the steering
wheel, the tire circles and the force to lift the frame is applied. In this case,
the shock absorber contracts and the restoration force is applied to the
steering wheel.) -
-
-
Disadvantages:Cornering force decreases as the positive camber increases when the
vehicle makes turn.
The hub bearing is worn unevenly if camber is excessive. -
-
Zero camber: When the tire center line is perpendicular to the ground level ▶
Negative camber ▶
Advantages:
Better traction force due to wide load area (applicable for off-road vehicle)
Better corner driving when the vehicle makes turn as the cornering force
increases (applicable for high-speed F1 vehicle) -
-
Disadvantages:
he axle is easy to be bent or deviated in the negative camber than in the
positive camber when load is applied on the axle.
Difficult to control due to wide load area. -

1) Terms and Definition
CBS: Conventional Brake System
ABS: Anti-Lock Brake System
EBD: Electronic brake-Force Distribution
ESP: Electronic Stability Program
ABD: Automatic Braking Differential
ASR: Acceleration Slip Regulation
AYC: Active Yaw Control (Understeer and Oversteer Control)
HBA: Hydraulic Brake Assistant
ARP: Active Rollover Protection
HSA: Hill Start Assistant
Brake pad: Brake pad is a component of disk brakes used in automotive and other applications.
Brake pad is steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the brake disc.
Brake disc: The brake disc is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel while it is in
motion.
Brake caliper: To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads (mounted on a device
called a brake caliper) is forced hydraulically against both sides of the disc. Friction causes the disc
and attached wheel to slow or stop.
Brake master cylinder: The brake master cylinder is a control device that converts non-hydraulic
pressure (commonly from a driver's foot) into hydraulic pressure, in order to move other device(s)
which are located at the other end of the hydraulic system, such as one or more slave cylinders. As
piston(s) move along the bore of the master cylinder, this movement is transferred through the
hydraulic fluid, to result in a movement of the slave cylinder(s). The hydraulic pressure created by
moving a piston (inside the bore of the master cylinder) toward the slave cylinder(s) compresses the
fluid evenly, but by varying the comparative surface-area of the master cylinder and/or each slave
cylinder, one will vary the amount of force and displacement applied to each slave cylinder (relative to
the amount of force and displacement that was applied to the master cylinder). -
