Polyurethane has been with us as a specialist plastic for some thirty years and recent advances have now made it possible to engineer very special properties into this exciting material. Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to vehicles. They undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication Standard bushes are manufactured from a rubber compound containing natural products. This material deteriorates with age becoming softer and more pliable. It starts to resist the forces placed on it less and less, allowing greater movement of suspension components. The result - less control over suspension geometry, accelerated tyre wear, braking instability and poor handling. This is the single biggest reason you can instantly tell the difference driving a three year old car compared to a showroom new one. However, even new cars will benefit from POWERFLEX bushes. Because of their superior design they offer much more effective control of the suspension components than standard rubber items. With the technological advances in this material it has been possible to overcome the common problem associated with harder bushes which is increased noise. By correctly engineering the polyurethane compound, bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than new rubber ones but with exactly the same noise absorbing properties POWERFLEX FOR PROLONGED TYRE LIFE POWERFLEX FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE POWERFLEX FOR INCREASED SAFETY Page 4 of 75 PRODUCT INFORMATION FOR POWERFLEX MOTORSPORT UNIVERSAL RANGE OF BUSHES POWERFLEX Motorsport bushes have been developed to fulfil the demands of motorsport engineers and specialist car builders, both amateur and professional. These bushes are manufactured solely with performance in mind for those who demand the very best. They are available in a range of universal sizes enabling the engineer to design and manufacture the component to the bush or modify the bush to the component. They are supplied in a black Shore A, 80 material, which is durable enough for high stresses but does allow the slight deflections and misalignments, which occur during suspension movement. There are three types of kit available. The 100 Series kits consist of three components, the 200 Series, two components and the 300 Series, two also. 100 Series: Two “top-hat” polyurethane components and one stainless steel sleeve. The sleeve is supplied over-length and with a pilot bore only. The sleeve can then be machined to length and drilled to the correct bolt size for fitment. The 200 Series kits are two POWERFLEX “washers”. The 300 Series consists of two universal anti roll bar mounts. Typical applications for the 100 Series range are: - Swinging arm location. - Wishbone ends. - Shock absorber “eye” mounts. - Engine steady bars - Axle location Typical applications for the 200 Series range are: - Body panel spacers - Shock absorber top mounts - Vibration absorbing washers - Shock absorber travel limiters Typical applications for the 300 Series range are: - Anti-roll bar mount This range of bushes has been developed so that additional machining to size can be carried if required. Page 5 of 75 HOW TO USE THE CATALOGUE 6 easy steps to find the correct Powerflex bush for your vehicle; 1. Find the correct vehicle listing starting with Make, Model and series. 2. Determine the front or rear bush location on the car. 3. Find the correct part description, paying attention to any notes such as sizes. 4. Look up the Part Reference Diagram to confirm the correct bush location. 5. Read the part number in the Part Number column. 6. Check any footnotes for important information. Ordering; Powerflex bushes contain 1 bush per part number (or 1 bush assembly for example 2 “top-hat” bushes and 1 inner sleeve) unless otherwise stated. Each bush is priced and invoiced individually, but are boxed and must be ordered per car quantity. Powerflex Product Application Catalogue Edition 1.24 10/08/2009 15:53 Part Reference Price Loc.

  • Rover SD1 Suspension – the Macpherson the SD1 Has
    Rover SD1 Suspension – The MacPherson The SD1 has independent front suspension. Each front wheel moves individually from the other and the following types are common. • Leading/trailing link systems • Double wishbones • Multi link systems • MacPherson Multi link systems can provide the best comfort and handling. Next best is the double wishbone if properly set up. For instance most American cars use it but the geometry often leaves room for improvement. And then there is the MacPherson, giving good comfort and reasonable handling. Why then, did Rover choose a slightly inferior system? They preferred the double wishbone approach but it would not leave room to locate the catalytic converters needed for the U.S. market, plus the cost was higher. So the simple MacPherson was chosen which consists basically of a coil spring and shock absorber built into the spring leg. The leg pivots on a ball joint on the lower control arm. This can be either an ordinary A- arm or a narrow lower control arm which locates the lower end of the strut in the transverse direction and a separate member called a radius rod locating the assembly in the longitudinal direction. However on the SD1 the anti-roll bar serves a double function as the longitudinal link taking the drive and brake forces and thereby eliminating the separate radius rod. At the top, the SD1 has a roller bearing (not shown here) to allow the spring leg to turn without the spring winding up. The strut itself is the load-bearing member in the assembly. ie: - The spring and shock absorber hold the car up.

  • Rear Suspension Radius Rod Geometry
    INFORMATION SHEET # 05 - 2011 (V1 July 2011) Rear Suspension Radius Rod Geometry Introduction: During the two previous rounds of LVV Certifier training sessions (late 2010 and early 2011), one of the points of technical discussion LVVTA had with the LVV Certifiers was ‘ladder bars’ - a term given to a particular type of radius rod, that in some circumstances can create incorrect suspension geometry and bind. This Information Sheet summarises the outcome of the good feed-back and general concensus of those discussions LVVTA had with LVV Certifiers throughout the country, together with the like-minded view of the LVVTA Technical Advisory Committee. The Information Sheet also provides an overview of how such radius rods are to be treated by the LVV Certifiers until such time as the Suspension Chapter of the Car Construction Manual has been next amended. It is important to note that this information sheet focuses only on rear suspensions, as the use of the type of radius rod systems covered within this information sheet as they apply to front axles is dealt with separately within the Suspension Chapter of the NZ Car Construction Manual. Types of radius rods in question: Radius rods should always be designed and fixed so as to maintain correct geometric operation during full suspension extension and compression. There are three types of radius rods that have been traditionally fitted to modified and scratch-built vehicles, where maintaining correct geometry is very difficult, if not impossible. These three systems are as follows: • One system is ‘split radius rods’, which is a term given, usually to 1920s through 1940s Ford-based cars and pick-ups, where the OE radius rods that originally triangulated from the diff housing into a central pivot point on the chassis, are opened out, or ‘split’ and connected to the vehicle’s chassis side-rails.

LITERATURE REVIEW suspension system is to provide a high level of ride quality S. Dehbari [1] in his paper “Kinematic and Dynamic and to protect the vehicle by separating vehicle's wheel/axel Analysis for a New Mac Pherson Strut Suspension System” assembly from the body. Suspension helps the vehicle at analyzed a MacPherson suspension system. They studies the cornering. The function of the suspension system is to Kinematic and Dynamic aspects of the front suspension isolate the vehicle structure from shocks and vibration due system and with help of displacement matrix were able to to bumps and irregularity of the road. Engineers are always provide vertical displacement of sprung mass and unsprung trying to relief their design in search of more comfort we mass and compared there observations with others results. have not get that comfort yet, but the latest suspension There 2D model was capable of many calculating systems are better than the previous suspensions and we suspensions system parameters such as vertical acceleration know that the manufacturers and the design engineers have applied to car body and car handling parameters like caster taken many designs when it comes to suspension design for angle and track.
