主讲人：穆桂脂 Suspension system Review 1: What’s the function of Suspension system? Flexibly connect the wheels to the body Deliver the power and moment from the road to the body Damp out the spring oscillations quickly stabilizer bar coil spring trailing control shock absorber tie rod The suspension covers the arrangement used to connect the wheels to the body. The purpose is to prevent large shocks, caused by the wheels striking bumps in the road, being passed to the vehicle occupants and components; otherwise discomfort and damage would occur. 悬架是车架（车身）与车桥（车轮）之间一切连接传力装置的总称。其目的是防止车轮遇到路面不平产生的巨大冲击传给车内的乘客和货物；否则会产生不舒适的感觉和货物的损坏。 The suspension system has two subsystems－the front suspension and the rear suspension. The front suspension is more complicated than the rear suspension. This is because the front wheels must move in several different directions. The wheels must move up and down with the suspension and turn left to right with the steering. Since the car goes in the direction in which the front wheels point, the alignment of the front wheels is important. 悬架系统有两个子系统－前悬架和后悬架．前悬架比后悬架复杂．这是因为前轮需要在不同方向运动．车轮必须随悬架上下运动并随转向系统左右转动．因为汽车在前轮指向的方向上行驶，所以前轮定位很重要． Modern cars use an independent front suspension. In this system，each wheel mounts separately to the frame and has its own individual spring and shock absorber. Thus, the wheels act independently of one another. When one wheel hits a bump or hole in the road, the other wheel does not deflect. 现代汽车使用一个独立的前悬架，在这个系统中，每个轮子分开驱动，还有各自的弹簧和减震器。因此，轮子是相互独立的。当一个轮子碰到路面障碍物或掉入路面洞穴时，另外一个轮子不受影响。 Poor alignment can make a car pull to one side and stop the front wheels from returning to the straight-ahead position after a turn. 不正确的车轮定位参数会使汽车产生偏驶，阻止车轮在转向后回到直线行驶位置。 Review 2: What’s the function of Front Wheel Alignment Angles?
