This book is an introduction to the elementary technology of
automobile suspensions. Inevitably steering geometry must be
included in the text, since the dynamic steering behaviour,
road-holding and cornering behaviour are all influenced by the
suspension design. Steering mechanisms and steering components are
not covered in this book. This is not a mathematical treatise, but
only a fool or a genius would attempt to design a motor vehicle
without mathematics. The mathematics used in this book should
present no problem to a first-year university student. SI units
have been used in general, but for the benefit of those not
familiar with them we have included in brackets, in many cases, the
equivalent values in Imperial units. Many engineers regard the
Pascal as an impractical unit of pressure. The author has therefore
expressed pressures in bars (1 bar = 105Pa). A deviation from SI
units is the use of degrees and minutes, instead of radians, to
express camber, castor, roll angles, etc. This is still common
practice in the motor industry. No attempt has been made to make
any stress calculations on suspension components. The automobile
engineering student will have access to other textbooks on such
subjects as strength of materials and theory of structures.
