Why should unsprung mass be as low as possible? In a vehicle with a suspension, for example, a car, cruiser or a tank, sprung mass (or sprung weight) is the segment of the vehicle's complete mass that is upheld over the suspension, remembering for most applications around half of the heaviness of the suspension itself. Explain ride height? Decreasing unsprung weight is the way to improving dealing with. The lower the unsprung weight, the less work the stuns and springs need to do to keep the tires in contact with the street over rough surfaces. Fill in the Gaps Complete the following statement about curb riding height using the following words. Words: Angles, Control, Curb, Excessive, Height, Jounce, Level, Location, Manufacturer’s Measured, Normal, Riding, Spring, Suspension, Type, Vehicle Regular inspection and proper maintenance of suspension systems are extremely important to maintain vehicle safety. The curb riding height is determined mainly by spring condition. Other suspension components such as control arm bushings will affect curb riding height if they are worn. Since incorrect curb riding height affects most of the other suspension angels , this measurement is critical. Sagged springs change the n o r m a l operating arc of the lower ball joint. This action causes lateral movement of the tire during wheel jounce and rebound with resulting tire wear. The curb riding height must be measured at the vehicle manufacturers specified. location , which varies depending on the types of suspension system. When?
the vehicle is on a level floor or an alignment rack, measure the curb riding height from the floor to the manufactures specified location on the chassis. Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. The coil springs of the vehicle ? Support the weight of the vehicle. Respond to wheel jounce. Respond to wheel rebound. All answers are correct. There are two (2) basic designs of coil springs. What are they? Linear Rate Variable Rate Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. A coil spring that is cylindrical in overall shape and has closely spaced coils at one end and widely space coils at the other end is called a spring. Torsional reflex. Progressive rate. Truncated cone. Barrel. Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. What occurs when the wheel hit a dip or hole and the vehicle move downwards? Jounce . Rebound. Compression. Deflection. Explain the spring characteristics of the linear and variable rate spring. Linear rate spring: The most presentation arranged and springs intended for hustling will have a direct rate. The reliable
idea of direct rate springs makes the vehicle stable, advances foothold, and makes the vehicle more unsurprising for the driver. Variable rate spring: Progressive springs become stiffer rapidly as they are compacted. Reformist springs consider a smooth ride over little knocks and have firm qualities when taking a piece hit, for example, a pot opening or a hard corner. Explain how the linear rate spring operates? Direct springs have equivalent distance between each curl all through the whole length of the spring. With direct springs, the spring rate is consistent and isn't influenced by the heap following up on the spring. On the off chance that one applies a 100 lb burden to a spring with a pace of 100 lbs Explain the design and operation of the variable rate spring? Variable rate springs provide a lower spring rate under unloaded conditions offering a smoother ride, and a higher spring rate under loaded conditions, resulting in more support and Control.

True or False Fill in the Gaps Complete the following statement about strut shock absorbers using the following words. Words: Absorber, Assembly, Cartridge, Damping, Front, Joint, Piston, Replacing, Serviceable, Shock, Space, Spring, Steering, Struts, Suspension, Unit, Upper, The core element of this type of _ Suspension is the strut. With its cylindrical shape and protruding Piston rod, it looks quite similar to the conventional Shock absorber. In fact, the strut provides the _ Damping function of the shock absorber, in addition to serving to locate the _ Spring and to fix the position of the suspension. The shock-damping function is accomplished differently on various types of Struts . None of them uses a separate shock absorber as the traditional Front suspension does. Struts fall into two broad categories: sealed and Serviceable units. A sealed strut is designed so the top closure of the strut _ Assembly is permanently sealed. There is no access to the shock Absorber cartridge inside the strut housing and no means of _ Replacing the cartridge. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the entire strut Unit . A serviceable strut is designed so the _ Cartridge inside the housing, which provides the shock-absorbing function, can be replaced with a new cartridge. The use of the strut reduces suspension Space and weight requirements. By mounting the bottom of the strut assembly to the _ Steering knuckle, the upper control arm and ball Joint of the traditional suspension are eliminated.
