Development of a new-type suspension spring for rally cars—Watanabe, 2001

Written By Readisten Company Team and Staff

Auto suspension springs improve control stability and ride comfort. Rallying requires stable control. The authors invent a novel form of rectangular wire helical spring with a twisting section between the first and second coils. This spring can maintain rally car control while absorbing road impact. This study showed that springs are non-linear. FEM study and theory on the twisting section didn't discover stress concentration. Authors suggested spring production equipment.
