Abstract
Suspension unit is the term given to the system that consists of springs, Shock Absorbers and Linkages that connects a vehicle body to its wheel. Suspension unit has many purposes which are vehicle handling, passenger’s comfortable, avoiding noise and bumps to the vehicle, etc. Independent suspension is a term for any automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically and independently of each other reacting to a bump in the road. Independent suspension typically offers better ride quality and handling characteristics, due to the ability of each wheel to address the road undisturbed by activities of the other wheel on the vehicle. Independent suspension requires additional engineering effort in development versus a beam or live axle arrangement. Introducing Independent Suspension in Commercial Passenger Vehicles will increase the comfortable in long journey. Existing suspension units in the commercial passenger vehicles have only the leaf springs which are connected between the vehicle chassis and wheels. So the movement on one side will affects the wheel on the other side and whole body will affected by the shock.
