A vehicle needs a suspension system to cushion and dampen out road shocks. This provides comfort to the passengers and prevents damage to the load and vehicle components. This course is about suspension system technology and will cover the reasons for suspension, springs, dampers or shock absorbers, front suspension layouts, rear suspension layouts and active suspension. It will also include a case study of Delphi MagneRide, the industry’s first semi-active suspension technology that employed no electro-mechanical valves and small moving parts.
