Car Suspension Parts

The suspension of a car is actually part of the chassis, which comprises all of the imp­ortant systems located beneath the car's body.

These systems include:

•The frame - structural, load-carrying component that supports the car's engine and body, which are in turn supported by the suspension
•The suspension system - setup that supports weight, absorbs and dampens shock and helps maintain tire contact
•The steering system - mechanism that enables the driver to guide and direct the vehicle
•The tires and wheels - components that make vehicle motion possible by way of grip and/or friction with the road
