suspension

Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact with the road surface as much as possible, because all the road or ground forces acting on the vehicle do so through the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage from damage and wear. The design of front and rear suspension of a car may be different.

    MG5 PFL squeaking noise from suspension

    Hello. I've been noticing a squeaking noise every time I drive over a bump. I took the car to the garage, and they confirmed that the suspension is solid. However, they couldn't identify the source of the noise. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Any insights would be appreciated.

    I have a Phase 2 Excite 51 (SR) RHD (Australia) and I've noticed that on rare occasions, when I'm turning left over a bump (for example, left turning into a shopping centre car park), there's quite a loud "boing" noise from the back left of the car. It's a pretty comical sounding noise. If...

    Any experience with damper change?

    Hi there, I've just got a pre-owned 2021 ZS EV and find the ride rather bumpy over uneven surfaces. I'd appreciate advise, possibly a damper change to make the ride more comfortable? I see Arcsuspension with rear damper kits but would a Bilstein B4 fit the ZS. Much thanks!
