Vehicle Suspension System Quiz

What are the 3 main purposes of a vehicle suspension system?

• To support the weight of the vehicle

• To absorb and dampen shock

• To maintain tire contact with the road

• To increase the speed of the vehicle

Which two forces act on a vehicle suspension system?

• Gravitational force and frictional force

• Tension and compression

• Magnetic force and electric force

• Buoyant force and drag force

What is meant by the term UNSPRUNG WEIGHT?

• The weight of the vehicle's body and frame

• The weight of the vehicle's wheels, tires, and suspension components not supported by the springs

• The total weight of the vehicle

• The weight of the vehicle's engine and transmission

Identify the types of Suspension Spring from the options below.

• Coil Spring

• Leaf Spring

• Torsion Bar

• Hydraulic Spring

State the purpose of an Anti-Roll bar.

• To increase the vehicle's speed

• To reduce the vehicle's weight

• To minimize body roll during cornering

• To enhance the vehicle's fuel efficiency

A leaf spring is tapered from the middle out because:

• It reduces weight while maintaining strength.

• It increases the aesthetic appeal.

• It simplifies the manufacturing process.

• It enhances the spring's flexibility.

Leaf springs have a swinging shackle at one end because:

• It allows for changes in the length of the spring during compression.

• It provides additional support to the vehicle's frame.

• It reduces the overall weight of the suspension system.

• It enhances the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

Where would you find a semi trailing arm suspension set up?

• In a bicycle

• In a motorcycle

• In a car

• In an airplane

State the purpose of a hydraulic damper.

• To increase the speed of a vehicle

• To absorb and dissipate energy

• To generate electricity

• To cool down the engine

The purpose of the bush/bearing at the top of the strut assembly is to:

• Provide structural support

• Reduce friction

• Absorb shock

• Facilitate steering
