Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels.
Vehicles with worn out or damaged springs ride lower to the ground which reduces the overall amount of compression available to the suspension and increases the amount of body lean.
Horstmann suspension was a variation which used a combination of bell crank and exterior coil springs, in use from the 1930s to the 1990s.
Suspension systems serve a dual purpose - contributing to the car's handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations.
All suspensions use springs to absorb impacts and dampers (or shock absorbers) to control spring motions.
New suspension technologies in development include a system from the Bose Corporation which uses computer-controlled motors to automatically adjust the suspension to changing road surfaces, keeping a vehicle level and in contact with the road even at high speed over bumpy roads, or in hard cornering.
RubberSuspensions eliminate spring failures and down time.
Air Trailer Suspensions deliver a superb ride, easy handling and easy installation.
AEON Hollow RubberSprings are the backbone of a diverse number of suspension applications, from manufactured highway equipment, industrial, agriculture, mining and logging, to commercial, emergency vehicle, OEM.
