Explain the important differences between sprung and unsprung weight with regard to suspension control devices. Objectives Identify the functions of shock absorbers and struts and describe their basic construction. Identify the components of a MacPherson strut system and describe their functions. Identify the functions of bushings and stabilizers. Objectives Perform a general front suspension inspection. Check chassis height measurements to specifications. Identify the three basic types of rear suspensions and know their effects on traction and tire wear. Objectives Identify the various types of springs, their functions, and their locations in the rear axle housing. Describe the advantages and operation of the three basic electronically controlled suspension systems: level control, adaptive, and active. Objectives Explain the function of electronic suspension components, including air compressors, sensors, control modules, air shocks, electronic shock absorbers, and electronic struts. Explain the basic towing, lifting, jacking, and service precautions that must be followed when servicing air springs and other electronic suspension components. Types of Vehicle Construction Unitized body Tends to be more tightly structured. Is designed to transmit impact energy throughout the vehicle. Body over frame The body and all major parts are bolted to the frame. Design is used on many pickups and SUVs. Definitions Spring A component used to absorb shock forces while maintaining vehicle height. Absorbs energy on compression (jounce) and releases energy during extension (rebound). Shock absorber A component used to damp or control motion in a vehicle. Shock absorbers dampen spring oscillations.
