Suspension
Suspension refers to the system of components in a vehicle that connect the wheels to the chassis or frame of the car.
The primary function of the suspension system is to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride for the driver and passengers by absorbing shocks and vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces.

Additionally, the suspension system also helps to maintain proper wheel alignment, provides stability and control while cornering, and improves handling and braking performance.
The suspension system comprises various components, including springs, shock absorbers, struts, and stabilizer bars.
Springs are the primary components of the suspension system and come in different types such as coil springs, leaf springs, and torsion bars.
They provide support and help to absorb shocks by compressing and expanding when the wheels encounter bumps or uneven terrain.
Shock absorbers work in conjunction with the springs to dampen the vibrations and prevent the car from bouncing excessively.
