PEUGEOT 407 SUSPENSION
The
first time in Peugeot's history they have decided to opt for a double wishbone
suspension unit on the 407's front axle. On the rear axle, the latest
generation multi-arm suspension still features dampers that are, in Peugeot
tradition, inclined rearwards to optimize boot space. Based on a structure exhibiting a high
tensional rigidity, the choice fell naturally therefore on two high-tech
architectures with the generous use of lightweight materials on a dual wishbone
front axle with drop link, and on an integral multi-arm rear suspension with
inclined spring/damper assemblies.
The various constituent parts of the
suspension and their functional criteria were not compromised in any way.
Compared to the first generation multi-arm rear suspension that made its
appearance on the 406, the all-new rear suspension of the 407 differs
essentially by the inclusion of inclined spring/valve damper assemblies (more
compact) and of a longitudinal arm decoupled from the hub carrier to ensure
longitudinal operation only (absence of extraneous forces generating
vibrations).
Launched
in 2005, the Peugeot 407 Coupe is the latest in a long tradition of prestige
coupes produced by Peugeot, where style plays a key role, combining stature and
refinement to create a product capable of long-distance touring with comfort
and high performance development.
This
stature is expressed initially through the coupe’s suspension dynamics, with
dual wishbone and a drop link at the front and multi-arm rear suspension: the
Peugeot 407 coupe produces’ superb road holding, is acknowledged for its grip,
progressive control, dynamics and ride comfort.

2011 HONDA ACCORD
SUMMARY OF 2011 HONDA ACCORD
The 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC in-line 4-cylinder
engine in the Honda in Denver is nothing short of impressive: it produces 177
horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque. Depending upon the selected body style
and/or trim, one can also get a 3.5-liter V6 that’s good for 271 hp, in
addition to 254 lb-ft. of torque. In a famous performance test near the Denver,
Colorado area a Honda in Denver V6
sedan was clocked at going from 0 to sixty mph in seven seconds. The manual
coupe made the same claim in 6.3 seconds!
The 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC in-line 4-cylinder
engine in the An online poll of Denver customers ranking the effectiveness
of the Accord
features revealed many favorites connected
to the suspension. Another popular feature was the gas mileage. The sedan alone
achieves an EPA-estimated 20/30/24, while the coupe receives 19/28/22
(automatic) and 17/26/21 (manual). This car also has excellent stability and
traction control, a Drive-By-Wire Throttle System, Variable Cylinder Management
(VCM) and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). In addition, the CARB emission has a
respectable ULEV-2 rating.
HONDA ACCORD 2011 SUSPENSION
The 2011 Honda Accord suspension
system contains lots of goodies that just happen to be standard on all of the
models. It all starts with a base of unit-body construction, a front shock
tower bar, stabilizer bar, Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) power-assisted
rack-and-pinion steering, lock-to-lock steering wheel turns and a curb-to-curb
turning diameter. The advanced Double Wishbone front suspension utilizes both
upper and lower control links. This grants Honda in Denver engineers a much-desired flexibility to tune the
suspension for predictable cornering as well as emergency maneuvering. The
result is an ultra-smooth, stable ride. The independent multi-link rear
suspension definitely provides high lateral rigidity for more spirited
handling. Experience the comfort of the Honda Accord for yourself at the State
Wide Buyback Event at Kuni Honda.
The 2011 Honda Accord is
such a classy and sophisticated model with lots of features for both the driver
and passengers to enjoy. With a refined exterior and solid, innovative
technology to support the interior, it’s no wonder that this is one of Honda’s
best cars in terms of selling quantity and quality. A solid suspension system
only enhances this car’s outstanding reputation for safety and overall smart
driving performance.

Front
Subframe
A front "floating" subframe design is used on the Accord Crosstour. A welded-steel subframe secured to the unit body's longitudinal rails supports the Accord's engine, transaxle, transfer case, steering gear and front suspension. The front of the subframe assembly is designed for enhanced stiffness with minimal weight penalties and uses four tuned rubber mounts to isolate the subframe from the main body structure, i.e. it is "floating."

The front of the subframe assembly is designed for enhanced stiffness with minimal weight penalties and uses four tuned rubber mounts to isolate the subframe from the main body structure, i.e. it is "floating."
A stiffener located under each subframe attachment
fastener helps to further stabilize the assembly, thereby achieving linear
handling and braking performance. The subframe includes two Active Control
Engine Mounts (ACM) that counteract the inherent vibration created by the
Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, plus one rubber isolator
transmission mount. (See the body section for more details on ACM). The
"floating" mounts are strategically positioned to counteract noise
and vibration while reducing the transmission of engine noise and vibration to
the passenger compartment.
Double
Wishbone Front Suspension
Widely spaced upper and lower wishbones give precise suspension action, with the coil-over spring and shock absorber units free of the binding caused by the side-loading inherent in some less sophisticated strut-type designs. The Accord Crosstour's front suspension is a modified version of the double-wishbone system used on the Accord Sedan and Coupe. Stabilizer bars, springs and damping rates have been optimized to provide the best combination of ride and handling. The front lower control arms are forged steel and connect to a stamped steel box-section sub frame. The stamped-steel upper control arms connect to a forged-steel knuckle.

Progressive valve nitrogen gas-filled coil-over
shock absorbers integrate an internal rebound spring. When cornering, the
internal rebound spring allows the shock absorber to exert additional force on
the inside wheel's coil spring to help counteract wheel lift in certain
situations. This premium shock absorber design helps to improve both ride
comfort and responsiveness. Ultimately, tire-to-road adhesion is enhanced.

Rear
Subframe
The rear subframe, which supports most of the rear suspension and the rear axle drive unit, is made of high-strength steel for high stiffness and minimal weight. The shape of the rear subframe is equally important - it must accommodate the drivetrain components for the available Real Time 4WD system and the multi-link rear suspension. For excellent ride and handling characteristics, the subframe attaches to the unit body at four widely spaced, rubber-isolated, mounting points. Rear-suspension components, especially the springs and shock absorbers, are as compact as possible to facilitate a wide, flat, load floor and to leave room for both a spare tire and a fuel tank. The rear axle drive unit (if equipped) is mounted to the subframe by means of rubber isolators to block powertrain noise and vibration from the passenger compartment.

Multi-link
Rear Suspension
The Accord Crosstour's rear suspension is a compact, multi-link layout for excellent ride and handling, minimum weight and optimum packaging. Wheel travel is a generous 4.3 inches in compression and 3.7-inches in rebound. The three links that position each rear wheel laterally run between the knuckle assembly and the subframe. Progressive valve nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers attach from a low point on each knuckle to a highly rigid attachment point on the unit body.

The knuckles are an "in-wheel" design to
optimize suspension geometry and packaging efficiency. Bushing compliance
provides a modest toe-in effect in response to substantial cornering and
braking loads to enhance overall stability. The rear knuckles are made from
aluminum and help to reduce unsprung weight for quick suspension
responsiveness. Optimized high rigidity bearings accommodate the additional
forces of the four-wheel-drive system. Coil springs, dampers and a stabilizer
bar are tuned for the best combination of ride and handling. Rear subframe
mounts and lateral control link bushing rates were adjusted to create a
discrete level of lateral force steer at the rear axle.

AUDI SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Pneumatic Adjustable Audi Allroad Air Suspension
This type of suspension was used by AUDI car manufacturer in AUDI ALLROAD QUATTRO car.
Audi Allroad air suspension system consists of air bags that surround the shock absorbers instead of conventional coil springs. The adjustable Allroad air bag compression is managed by a control module and air compressor that are delivered via air lines. This type of Audi Allroad suspension set-up allows for variable suspension feel and height.
This was the latest type of suspension for the AUDI car.
The suspension adjust it own height depend on the speed of the car.
The suspension height is higher when the car are in slow speed (below than 35km/h).
The suspension height decreases as the speed increases.

The ball joint is connected to the wishbone at three bolting points. compared to the Audi A3,
the fastening bolt are integral part of a separate retaining element. the bolts and retaining
element are inserted from above through the wishbone and ball joint. the wishbone is attached
directly to the subframe at the inside front and to the body at the inside rear by means of an
aluminium bracket.
The ball joint is in a lower position then on the Audi A3. The result is a higher centre of roll.

HISTORY OF SUSPENSION
Automobiles were initially developed as self-propelled
versions of horse-drawn vehicles. However, horse-drawn vehicles had been
designed for relatively slow speeds, and their suspension was not well suited
to the higher speeds permitted by the internal combustion engine.
In 1901 Mors of Paris first fitted an automobile with shock absorbers. With the advantage of a dampened suspension system on his 'Mors Machine', Henri Fournier won the prestigious Paris-to-Berlin race on 20 June 1901. Fournier's superior time was 11 hrs 46 min 10 sec, while the best competitor was LĂ©once Girardot in a Panhard with a time of 12 hrs 15 min 40 sec.
In 1920, Leyland Motors used torsion bars in a suspension
system. In 1922, independent front suspension was pioneered on the Lancia
Lambda and became more common in mass market cars from 1932
.WHAT IS SUSPENSION ?
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock
absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative
motion between the two. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose for contributing
to the vehicle's handling and braking for good active safety and driving
pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well
isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations. These goals are generally at
odds, so 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.
