Suspension parts?

Can you tell me all the suspension parts in a car and all the parts in different suspensions and can you supply daigrams for each type of suspension? Im asking for like a picture and a list of all parts like the struts the roll bars the ocntorl arms everything?? Also how does the anti roll bar work??? How do you adjust camber castor and toe which parts do you have to change and or move?? What is caster?? I dont understand it?? Can oyu please explain it in full detail and PLEASE include diagrams





Thanks a lot|||Several thousand words wouldn't cover what you ask. Best bet is to do a search on SLA ( short arm long arm ), Wishbone, and Macpherson strut. Those are the main designs, and pics should be available as well. The roll bar hooks the suspension to frame, thus reducing body roll during turns. Toe is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the distance between the wheels by adjusting the tie rods. Camber is the vertical relation of the wheel to the frame, as in the top is in or out as far as leaning. Caster is the rearward or forward orientation of the wheel. Different suspension types have different ways to adjust castor and camber, all toe adjustments are done by tie-rod end to tie-rod end distance.


A vast subject, just a few basics, and do a few searches, you will get the idea.|||try www.hunteralignment.com
