The mechanism located at the back of this all-terrain vehicle connecting the wheels to the chassis is responsible for absorbing shocks and vibrations from the road surface. This system plays a critical role in providing a comfortable ride and maintaining vehicle stability, especially when traversing uneven or challenging landscapes. A common example involves coil springs and shock absorbers working in tandem to manage the vertical movement of the wheels as they encounter bumps or potholes.
A robust and well-engineered system of this type is essential for the vehicle’s off-road capability and durability. Its design contributes significantly to load-carrying capacity, articulation (the ability of the wheels to maintain contact with the ground over uneven terrain), and overall driver control. Historically, leaf springs were a common choice, but more modern designs often incorporate coil springs, air suspension, or electronically controlled dampers to enhance performance and ride quality.
