What you need to know about the chassis of the car?

Purpose of the car chassis
The car chassis is designed to move the car on the road with a certain level of comfort. No shaking or vibration. Mechanisms and chassis parts connect the wheels to the body. They dampen his vibrations, perceive and transmit forces acting on the car. While in the cabin, the driver and passengers experience slow fluctuations with large amplitudes and fast oscillations with small amplitudes. Soft seat upholstery, rubber engine mounts, gearboxes, etc. Protect from rapid vibration. The elastic elements of the suspension, wheels and tires serve as protection against slow vibrations. The chassis consists of front suspension, rear suspension, wheels and tires. The suspension is designed to mitigate and dampen vibrations transmitted by irregularities on the way to the car body.
What is a car chassis for?
Thanks to the suspension of the wheels, the body makes vertical, longitudinal, angular and transverse-angular vibrations. All these fluctuations determine the smoothness of the car. In order for our cars to last longer and for drivers to feel better, the wheels are not firmly attached to the body. For example, if you lift the car into the air, then the wheels will hang, suspended from the body of any levers and springs. This is the suspension of the wheels of the car. Of course, the hinged arms and springs are made of iron and made with a certain margin of safety. But this design allows the wheels to move relative to the body. And it’s more correct to say that the body has the ability to move relative to the wheels that move along the road.

The main elements in the car chassis
Tires are the first in a car to perceive road bumps and, as much as possible, because of their limited elasticity, soften vibration of the road profile. Tires can serve as an indicator of suspension performance. Fast and uneven tire wear indicates a decrease in the shock resistance of the shock absorbers below the permissible limit. Basic resilient elements, such as springs, keep the car body level. Providing an elastic connection between the car and the road. During operation, the elasticity of the springs changes due to aging of the metal or due to constant overload, which leads to a deterioration in the performance of the car. Driving height decreases, wheel angles change, wheel load symmetry is broken. Springs, not shock absorbers, support the weight of the car. If the ground clearance decreases and the car drowns without load, then it's time to replace the springs.
Questions and answers:
What is included in the chassis of the vehicle? Wheels, tires, front and rear suspension elements (levers, springs, struts, damper fasteners). All of this is attached to the frame or the structural part of the body.
What is a car undercarriage? These are suspension elements and wheels that damp vibrations from the road, reduce shock loads on the body, and also ensure the movement of vehicles.
What is the car chassis for? As long as the car is moving (the wheels rotate thanks to the transmission of torque from the transmission), the chassis absorbs all shocks and shocks from the uneven road, and absorbs them.
