Suspension function and structure ①

Semester2 Student ID Name .

What to learn

How does the suspension work?

What is the structure of the suspension?

〔１〕Suspension function

Cars can ( ) with the power of the ( )

transmitted to the ( ) and the force of the tire (
) the road surface transmitted to the ( ).

Suspension is the device that connects the ( ) and (

) (( )) and supports the car.

If you just want to ( ) power, just ( ) the axle to (

).

However, in this case, when the car runs, ( ) due to

road surface ( ) is directly transmitted to the
body, which makes the ride very ( ).

In automobiles, in order to improve the ride ( ) during driving,

By using a mechanism that moves the tires ( ), it ( ) vibrations

while driving.

Automobiles are required to be able to drive stably on ( ) without the

body ( ).

The suspension is devised so that the ( ) is always in (

) with the road surface and the body is ( ).

The suspension has two functions: "( )"

and "( )".

　〔２〕 Improving ride comfort

（１）

Function of spring

Automobiles ( ) the body with ( ) to improve ride ( ).

This spring ( ) the movement of the tire and ( ) the vibration

transmitted to the ( ).

However, if the body is supported ( ), the body will continue to shake

and the ride quality will ( ).
Therefore, it is necessary to have a mechanism that (
) the continuous movement of the ( ).

The ( ) functions to suppress the ( )

movement caused by the spring by the ( ).

（２） Function of shock absorber

The shock absorber works to suppress the fluffy movement caused by the spring.

In order to suppress the movement of the spring, it is necessary to ( ) the (

) and ( ) of the spring.

Therefore, the shock absorber is designed to produce a ( ) that ( ) the

expansion and contraction of the spring.

When you move the ( ) with a ( ) in the

cylinder filled with ( ),

When oil ( ) the hole, a force that (

) piston movement is ( ).

This force is called ( ).

Because this damping force ( ) the

force that the spring ( ),

The movement will be ( ) and the ride will

be ( ).

The shock absorber's damping action is ( ) when extended than when

compressed to improve ride ( ) and ( ).

This is done by changing the ( ) with a ( ) or the like.

〔３〕Jack up the vehicle

Precautions when jacking up the vehicle

・ Jack up the vehicle with ( ).

Without ( )

・ Never jack up a vehicle that ( )

of the jack.

・Always work with wheel chocks on a ( ).

・The jack and jack stand securely ( ) the ( ) support

point.

・( ) the parking brake and set the shift position to ( ).

When jacking up the ( ) wheels, apply a wheel stopper only to the rear side of the
( ) wheels.
When jacking up the ( ) wheels, apply a
wheel stopper only to the front side of the (
) wheels.

If the vehicle is supported ( ),

do not ( ) or ( ).

Be sure to support it with a ( ).

Front side jack up

1. Install two wheel stoppers on the left and right ( ).

2. Release the ( ) and set the ( ) position to N.

3. ( ) the nut on the wheel to be removed ( ).

4. Set the garage jack at the ( ) of the front ( ).

5. Turn the handle of the garage jack to the ( ) to ( )

it.

Then move the handle up and down.

And ( ) and ( ) raise it while checking

that the tires float.

6.Raise the vehicle enough to fit the jack stand, then place the jack stand on the (
).

7.( ) the jack handle to the left to slowly lower the vehicle.

8.( ) the rigid rack with a ( ) and, ( ) the vehicle is well

supported.

　Rear side jack up

9. Set the garage jack at the jack point of the rear side member.

10.Turn the handle of the garage jack to the right to lock it.

Then move the handle up and down.

And slowly and carefully raise it while checking that the tires float.

11.Raise the vehicle enough to fit the jack stand, then place the jack stand on the support
position.

12.Carefully turn the jack handle to the left to slowly lower the vehicle.

13.Hit the rigid rack with a hammer and, make sure the vehicle is well supported.
