2. Steering damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damper

   Steering damper. The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work ...

3. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   Lower green: Vehicle frame or unibody member. The MacPherson strut is a type of automotive suspension system that uses the top of a telescopic damper as the upper steering pivot. It is widely used in the front suspension of modern vehicles. The name comes from American automotive engineer Earle S. MacPherson, who invented and developed the design.

4. Speed wobble - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble

   Speed wobble. Speed wobble (also known as shimmy, tank-slapper, [ 1] or death wobble) is a rapid side-to-side shaking of a vehicle's wheel (s) that occurs at high speeds and can lead to loss of control. It presents as a quick (4–10 Hz) oscillation of primarily the steerable wheel (s), and is caused by a combination of factors, including ...

5. Steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

   The steering wheel turns a pinion gear, which moves a rack back and forth to steer the wheels. This mechanism converts the circular motion of the steering wheel to linear motion, which is applied to the wheels of the car via tie rods and a steering knuckle. Rack and pinion steering has several advantages, such as a direct steering "feel".

6. Double wishbone suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone_suspension

   A double wishbone suspension is an independent suspension design for automobiles using two (occasionally parallel) wishbone -shaped arms to locate the wheel. Each wishbone or arm has two mounting points to the chassis and one joint at the knuckle. The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the wishbones to control vertical movement.

7. Active suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

   Active suspension. An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the ...
