Proper maintenance of your car keep it in a good running condition, provide you safety while driving and somehow prolong its life. For many people maintaining the car is a overwhelming situation, so they can neglect the common issues and take it too long. Among different issues, supension system in your car is the most important one that you should look out for maintaining your car performance. But the suspension issues of your car is very difficult to diagonize because the mechanic face many problems to identify the real source of suspension problem. If you actively ignore the common issues related with your suspension problem, then you naturally dig a hole for your car. Go through the below mentioned points to aware about the common warning …show more content…
Sticking brake caliper. Bad steering rack and tie rods. The poor alignment of your car means uneven tire wear, a constant fighting with the steering wheel, annoying pulling and also decrease in the gas mileage. If your tire is not rotate regularly, then try to rotate it otherwise it can hit more than one pathole or curb. So for these suspension issues consult with your mechanic and try to fix it immediately. Car Continues Bounce On Bumps A rough riding of your car indicate that the struts or shocks of your car should be worn and it needs immediate replacement. When your car bounce on the every bump of the road, you confirm that your car have a suspension problem which need to be checkout as sson as possible. The shock absorber are the main culprit behind your car bounce on the bumps because they are responsible for keeping your tires on the road. The shocks have fluid which can dampen the bouncing, once they started to leak, they can't keep the tires planted on the pavement and the performance of the absorber eventually fail. So, tgry to check it as soon as …show more content…
When you are going over bumps, you sometime notice a clunking sound because the damaged spring of your car can't support the weight. Here, the spring is not only responsible for this suspension problem, means the shock absorber aslo combined with the spring to contribute the problems. The blown shock may overcompress the spring and lower one corner of your car. By pushing down the trunk of the car, you can easily diagnose the spring problem and find out the suspension issues arises due to it. When the supension problem is related with spring, shocks and its related parts, then you definitely hear a squealing and creaking sound. Before your car dragging along the highway, try to inspect this issue. Car Face Difficulty In Steering If you found difficulty in steering while driving your car especially at low speed , then it might be something wrong happen with your suspension. When you turn the wheel, then feel that your steering may be in slipping condition. The following are the reasons that are responsible for your steering issues,

Due to the high demands of the consumers, there had to be changes made in order to provide a flawless driving experience. Past systems did a wonderful job at reducing the shock and swaying of vehicles, but there is always room for improvement. Premium versions of vehicle suspension are typically found on most luxury vehicles due to the time and cost that is needed to install them. Brands such as Lexus, Mercedes, Ferrari, and Audi are a few that have advanced suspension

Driver error is an additional cause of crashes. Driver error can be numerous things, including distraction, fatigue and falling asleep at the wheel, inexperience, reckless driving, eating while driving, and others.
Lift kits on trucks change the angle of the driveshaft and can cause U-joint and powertrain issues. Slamming a vehicle drastically changes the alignment angles causing the automobile to wear out tires quickly. Another difference between suspension modifications and the upgrades mentioned above is the amount of work involved in returning it to a factory original condition.
The average driver doesn’t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that’s because they don’t have to. The average driver doesn’t have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car’s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and racing car design. The stylish curves and ground effects on sports cars are usually there not just for form but function as well allowing you to go speeds over 140 mph in most serious sports cars and remain on the road and in reasonable control.
Automobile accidents happen all around us. We see cars in the middle of the road after just rear ending each other. We see cars driving around town with big dents in them. Do you ever stop to wonder how car accidents happen? Physics; that’s how they happen. There are several aspects of physics that apply to automobile accidents.
The short story “A Sound of Thunder” is an entertaining tale of a man who travels millions of years into the past on a prehistoric dinosaur hunting excursion and accidentally crushes a butterfly, resulting in the present day being altered. After reading this short story, I read an article titled: “Should classic works of literature be edited to make them less offensive?” The article presented arguments both for and against rewriting the classic novel Huckleberry Finn and potential censorship of the “n-word”. These two texts demonstrate that rewriting history results in many negative societal outcomes, the most profound of which being the desensitization of the public when it comes to issues like racism. This desensitization all but inhibits national dialogue on these issues and hinders societal progress.
Good stability and handling is achieved with a combination of suspension, steering, acceleration, brakes and weight distribution.
There are many different types of suspension systems that are used in cars today, and some that were discontinued due to their uselessness. One example of an older suspension system is called the swing axle suspension. This is a very old type, used in many sports cars in the 50’s, but had disappeared for about 2 decades. This was due to the weakness of the system. The handling was awful, as the camber angle can be noticeably changed by a simple bouncing motion, and the change of the static weight and body roll as the car took a corner. The only advantage to this type of system was that it could provide independent shock absorption. (Wan)
Tunability: Air suspensions have a wide tuning range for spring rate and load capacity. Weeks of conventional spring and shock tuning can be painlessly compressed into a few minutes via in-car adjustability. Getting the ride height, load, and rate on a coil spring right on the first try is a hit-and-miss affair, but an air suspension provides a much broader envelope, so precise selection isn't as critical as on a conventional spring [3].
Knowing how to drive a car myself, I can’t expect an accident to occur. It just happens without your knowledge and sometimes without your fault too. It’s better to take precautions just in case such a thing happens. This will surely help you financially for the repairs of the vehicle.
Bull bars- A bull bar is a device attached to the front of the vehicle to minimise the damage caused to passenger in the case of a crash. Bull bars come in all different shapes and sizes depending on needs. If your car was to collide with a kangaroo, the car passengers would feel the thump because the mass of the kangaroo is big enough to cause damage. The car would also slow down naturally without the driver putting their foot on the brake, because the force has either been thrown forward or over the car (law 1 and 3). The bull bar is designed to stop the force from coming in contact with the cars bonnet.
One of the most important part of any car is the tires. Tires are in constant contact with the road, and like the Goodyear commercial says, “So much is riding on your tires.”
