Basics about Truck Suspension Parts
The truck suspension is an important part of which most people don’t know about.
It seems simple and makes the ride of the truck smooth while going up and down,
they have the complicated components inside it. Suspension performs two major
functions:

● Absorb terrain changes and inconsistencies of the road

front wheels by using lower and upper arms, shock absorbers, and coil springs that
control vertical travel of the front suspension. This works hand in hand with the rear
suspension as the front suspension affects the rear suspension, the chassis is the
link between the rear and the front suspension.
When you accelerate, put brake, decelerating, or turning the truck’s suspension get
affected in many ways. When we accelerate the static weight will transfer to the
rear suspension and the wheel, at the time the decelerating while entering a left-
hand corner, the weight Will get transfer to the right corner of the truck, springs,
loading the shocks, and sway bar and the suspension gets unload on the left-side
and the left-side lighter compare to the right side.
