1) Front Suspension (Double Wishbone)
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a
vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems serve a dual
purpose - contributing to the vehicle's road-holding/handling and braking for good active safety and
driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road
noise, bumps, and vibrations, etc. These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions
involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contac
t
with the road surface as much as possible, because all the forces acting on the vehicle do so through
the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage
from damage and wear.
2) Rear Suspension (Multi Link Type)
1. OVERVIEW
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.
The multi-link type is used for the rear
suspension to distribute the internal force (load)
applied to the link while driving. Also, the change
in camber or toe and shock load from the road
has been minimized by optimizing the link
arrangement.

Upper Arm
The upper arm is mounted to the frame
and the knuckle and it relieves the load
delivered from the tire to the knuckle.
This enables to absorb the various
impacts according to the load shapes
and to ensure the drivability.
Lower Arm
Knuckle
There are two types of knuckle (4WD,
2WD)
Cam bolt
1) Front Suspension (Double Wishbone)
The lower arm is mounted to the knuckle, the
shock absorber and the lower arm assembly. It
relieves the load delivered from the tire to the
knuckle. This enables to absorb the various
impacts according to the load shapes and to
ensure the drivability.

Shock Absorber Assembly
Stabilizer Bar Assembly
The stabilizer bar is intended to force each side of the vehicle to lower, or rise, to similar heights, to
reduce the sideways tilting (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps. The basic
function is to force the opposite wheel's shock absorber, spring or suspension rod to lower, or rise, to a
similar level as the other wheel. In a fast turn, a vehicle tends to drop closer onto the outer wheels, and
the sway bar will soon force the opposite wheel to also get closer to the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle
tends to "hug" the road, closer in a fast turn, where all wheels are closer to the body. After the fast turn,
then the downward pressure is reduced, and the paired wheels can return to their normal height against
the vehicle, kept at similar levels by the connecting stabilizer bar.

Coil spring -
The shock absorber assembly reduces the effect of traveling over
rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and increases in
comfort. While shock absorber serves the purpose of limiting
excessive suspension movement, their intended sole purpose is to
dampen spring oscillations. The shock absorber in this vehicle uses
the gas to absorb excess energy from the spring.
Shock absorber -
Keep the clearance to drive shaft.
To prevent the transverse force to shock absorber, the upper
center line and the lower center line of shock absorber are
placed on same line. 1.
