Suspension <strong>Systems</strong> - Conflicting Criteria<br />

• In order to improve the ride quality, it is necessary to isolate<br />

the body.<br />

• To improve the ride stability, it is important to keep the tire in<br />

contact with the road surface.<br />

• For a given suspension spring, the better isolation <strong>of</strong> the sprung<br />

mass from road disturbances can be achieved with a s<strong>of</strong>t<br />

damping by allowing a larger suspension deflection.<br />

• Better road contact can be achieved with a hard damping<br />

preventing unnecessary suspension deflections.<br />

Therefore, the ride quality and the drive stability are two<br />

conflicting criteria.<br />
