OBJECTIVE :-
Suspension is a term given to the system of spring, shock absorbers and linkages that connect a vehicle to its
wheel. The main objective of suspension systems is to provide safe vehicle control and irritating vibrations. As
an ATV is an off-road vehicle, it has chances of bending its suspension system due to bump forces acting on it ,
for which suspension system should be made of better design and highly strength material.
