Every multi-wheel vehicle requires a suspension system to provide road contact to all wheels and provide ride comfort. Due to physical and engineering imperfections, it is impossible that all wheels of a multi-wheel rigid vehicle touch the ground at the same time. Flexible suspension is required to make all wheels to be in contact with the ground on road irregularities, wheels’ unequal loads, and under forward and lateral accelerating conditions. Figure 3.1 illustrates side view of a solid axle suspension with leaf spring. The mechanical requirements of suspensions and their design will be studied in this chapter.
