On some cars the rear anti-roll bar is secured underneath the independent coil-spring mounting arm. Place a jack under the arm to take the load off the suspension, and unscrew the pair of nuts securing the through-bolts. Adjust the jack until there is no load on the anti-roll bar, at...
The suspension is a crucial piece in a car’s ability to accelerate, brake, and corner. It’s what keeps it from scrapping the ground causing a lot of damage to the underside. For this blogpost, I will be going over 5 examples: Macpherson Struts, Multilink, Double Wishbone, Torsten Bar...
The addition of a small amount of fluid to a suspension may dramatically change the macroscopic properties of the material, and attractive capillary forces between two grains deforms the grains elastically, yielding a ''spring constant'' for further deformation9. Along the same lines, just a ...
A torsion bar is of spring steel with one end rigidly fixed to the frame. The bar twists as the other end rotates with movements of the suspension lower arm. The other splined end is fixed to the frame. The splines stop the bar turning in its fixings. Instead, the bar has to twist...
based either on a leaf spring or a coil spring. in the former design, the leaf springs clamp directly to the drive axle. the ends of the leaf springs attach directly to the frame, and the shock absorber is attached at the clamp that holds the spring to the axle. for many years...
US Patent 3,062,526: Vehicle leaf spring suspension by John A Roehrig, 1962. A typical leaf spring suspension that automatically adjusts itself according to the weight the vehicle is carrying. US Patent 3,468,527: Mainspring-barrel for watches by A.N. Gauthier, 1894. Describes the energy-...
They stiffen the ride some but it's not going to be a huge amount. Theylimit axle movement therefore stiffing up the suspension. Do traction bars improve ride quality? The only time a traction bar will effect the ride quality iswhen front snubber is in contact with the leaf spring or spr...
spring leaf As a new type of contact suspension, rigid suspension catenary has the characteristics of less space, simple installation, less maintenance, good stability, safety and reliability. Rigid suspension system is characterized by high resistance, only a few parts are mobile, and the distance...

Thanks to a fully boxed frame, beefier independent front suspension, and an asymmetrical leaf spring design (with wider leaf springs to boot), the 2011 to 2016 trucks are the most capable tow-rigs GM has ever produced. As for the LML Duramax under the hood, its internals remain similar to...
