The job of a car shock upThe job of a car shock up is to maximize the friction between the tires and the road surface, to provide steering stability with good handling and to ensure the comfort of the passengers. In this article, we'll explore how car suspensions work, how they've evolved over the years.
Car Control
Automobile performanceWhen people think of automobile performance, they normally think of horsepower, torque and zero-to-60 acceleration. But all of the power generated by a piston engine is useless if the driver can't control the car. That's why automobile engineers turned their attention to the suspension system almost as soon as they had mastered the four-stroke internal combustion engine.
Vehicle dynamics
The study of the forcesThe study of the forces at work on a moving car is called vehicle dynamics, and you need to understand some of these concepts in order to appreciate why a suspension is necessary in the first place. Most automobile engineers consider the dynamics of a moving car from two perspectives
Wheels
Wheel's vertical energyWithout an intervening structure, all of wheel's vertical energy is transferred to the frame, which moves in the same direction. In such a situation, the wheels can lose contact with the road completely. Then, under the downward force of gravity, the wheels can slam back into the road surface. What you need is a system that will absorb the energy of the vertically accelerated wheel, allowing the frame and body to ride undisturbed while the wheels follow bumps in the road.
Maintenance
It’S IMPORTANT
If you pay proper attention to your car's maintenance needs, you will save a lot of time, money and aggravation by avoiding some expensive repairs.

Whether it is a single vehicle or a fleet of vehicles, a full maintenance contract, particularly for high mileage users, may well be a great benefit. Firstly there is a budgetary control, meaning no nasty surprises such as major repair bills or tyre replacement, but also the full assistance back up that keeps drivers on the road and fleet managers informed.
