Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The suspension system is the set of elastic elements and shock absorbers located between the wheel axles and the chassis or frame of the vehicle. It performs a dual function: absorbing the irregularities of the road surface so that they are not transmitted abruptly to the structure or the load, and keeping the wheels in contact with the ground, which is key for grip, braking and directional control. The other names are not valid. "Leaf-spring adapter system" is not a recognized name for any vehicle system. And "double-acting damping system" refers to a specific type of hydraulic shock absorber (the one that dampens both in extension and in compression), which is only a component and does not define the assembly formed by leaf springs, shock absorbers, stabilizer bars and connecting elements.
