How Car Suspension Works: Car Suspension Components, Animation and Different Types of Suspension

How Car Suspensions Work | Car Suspension System Explained
With car suspension animation in the video, the contents include
1) Car suspension components: steering knuckle, damper, spring, control arm, anti-sway bar and the tyre. The two principal components of a suspension system: springs and dampers. There are 4 types of springs currently used in vehicle suspension systems today, coil spring, leaf spring, torsion bar and air spring. Springs are energy storage units. They are good at absorbing the energy, but not good at dissipating the energy. A smooth ride requires both springs and the dampers, the Shock absorber or suspension struts.
2) Wheel alignment and how it would help a car suspension system: camber, caster and toe. It introduces positive and negative camber, steering axis inclination, positive and negative caster, toe in and toe out.
3) Independent and dependent car suspension systems: details explained on MacPherson Strut Suspension, Double wishbone suspension, Multi-link suspension (5-link suspension and solid axle multi-link system) , Trailing-arm suspension, common rear suspensions (Solid Axle Leaf Spring; solid axle coil spring) , Torsion beam suspension and air suspension.

I'm currently working on optimizing a suspension system. As a recent ME graduate who didn't take any classes related to vehicle engineering, I really appreciate the videos. Hope you keep producing them, best wishes!

[@emada.alreemi1226]

Hello, I am also working on the suspension as a senior mechanical engineer, how can I communicate with you?

[@xanny7373]

Ah so it’s you guys who makes shit repairability lol

[@MrPrime-mt8dd]

hello, im also working on suspension for my third year project. could you please give any advice?

[@amandachen432]

Best suspension animation I’ve ever seen, well structured and explained, keep going dude.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support😀. We will release more car parts animation videos in the future.

[@amandachen432]

Great, keep going👍

[@IrishMissus]

I recently started a job at an autoparts store and was looking up videos to learn more about how the cars work, and this was very informative!

[@mahtsew1268]

This was definitely the best suspension explanation video I could find. Well done

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support😀. Glad it helped. We will release more car parts animation videos in the future.

This is the most helpful video I found on suspensions on the internet... Thanks!!

[@devas1993]

I am thankful to few channels like this where the work and effort is so good that I am forced to leave a comment saying thank you.

[@paoloh885]

This deserves a lot more views. Incredibly well explained.

Whoa🤓what an explanation!!! The explanation is just like Cristal clear. 💫 Release more automobile contents which will definitely help to everyone.

One of the disadvantages of leaf springs not mentioned is what's called "inter leaf friction" meaning the individual leaves have to slide against each other when compressed. It has the effect of making the ride harsher but in the very earliest days of the automobile (before shock absorbers) it also provided something of a crude damping effect. Another disadvantage is the weight of the spring stack is un-sprung. Designers work to keep un-sprung weight to a minimum as it aggravates the tendency of the tires to bounce like a basketball when hitting bumps. The mono-leaf spring mentioned solves both of these issues.

[@fastbricksrc6084]

Hey there, just found your videos. Very cool to learn how things like suspension works. I have a little question. I am working on Lego cars with fast rc components. I also designed some things for that like steerign knuckle. Now i am working on some videos for the Lego community to get the knowledge to build fast cars like i did. Now the question. Can i use some of your animations to display several fuctions of the suspension?

[@tariqalr]

Very very good

[@BigBadBalrog]

Quick question about McPherson vs Double Wishbone. It looks like the negative camber change to the outside wheel when cornering is cited as a drawback of the McP, but a benefit of the unequal wishbone. Am I missing something? It looks like that's desirable in both cases. Otherwise, I can't believe how much I'm learning here.

[@gladyscherono2392]

This is all I need to learn about before buying a car

Hi gyz I need a help on how to create this video using animation I don’t know where to start… which steps would I need to get start

[@dbc105]

Any chance you are going to do a video explaining Semi-Trailing Arm Suspension?

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your suggestion😃. We will add this to our future video list.

[@jnaneshak3923]

When tyre is moving up and down, why it is not damaging the steering arm of steering system

[@flashsushi1843]

Double control arm (like in the 911 GT3 and Taycan) vs MacPherson struts (on 918s and all other 911s) with lots of modifications and additional linkages, in terms of handling, maintenance and repair costs?

[@animatedengineering8571]

Hi, thanks for your support. We have compare generally the advantage & disadvantage between a MacPherson strut and double wishbone:), as in 07:56 Macpherson Strut Suspension 10:04 Double Wishbone Suspension

[@flashsushi1843]

@@animatedengineering8571 yeah. I watched it hours after posting. Video is very helpful and well done.

[@raghuvinayrathode1429]

it is confusing around 12 mins where you mentioned Right cornering: the wheels to right of driver are called as Inner wheels and left one are outer wheels but you took them reverse as per my understanding. can you clarify it please.

[@h7opolo]

i agree, there should be a curved arrow. since the car is turning to the right, and the front of the vehicle is pictured on the distant end from the viewer, the wheel on the left is the outer one and the right wheel is the inner one.

[@laurenth7187]

Car suspensions are working in reference to the rapport of the masses of car and wheel = Masse of car Divided by mass of Wheel, this has to be as great as possible. And that's it.

Please let me do a voice over so more people can learn without getting annoyed by the robotic voice

omfg if its that annoying then turn on captions and just read the video. its really not that unbearable to listen to. grow up.

[@us3rG]

How can we be sure you don't have an annoying voice ?

[@DJHeroMasta]

Initially it struck a nerve but I've heard worse AI voices that make listening almost impossible. It may help if you slightly muffle the audio (I'm using my phone atm) and have the speakers pointed into the mattress/pillow.

[@MrPrime-mt8dd]

bro the AI is talking wrongly at some points in the video, it makes it hard to understand

Well, If you have a runflat tire, which has On your car, its not matter what you had kind of suspension! Because You everytime use your car like it has not a suspension. Think that you have choosed bmw 5 series to get more be comfort but you in trouble! Even in a shock! Try with regular michelin tires. Then probably you pray of me. Even you will fall in love to yourown bmw again.
