Springs and how they work

        A spring cushions the effects of road unevenness and impacts from the road, turning these into vibrations. The spring forms an important link between the individual suspension components, connecting up the sprung and unsprung masses in the vehicle. The unsprung masses include the vehicle components situated between the road and the spring, i.e. the wheels, brake and parts of the wheel suspension and steering. All other vehicle components are classed as sprung masses and include the car body, drive train and the remaining parts of the wheel suspension and steering. In terms of a car’s suspension comfort, the basic rule is that the smaller the ratio of unsprung to sprung mass, the greater the comfort. The spring works in conjunction with the stabiliser, the tyres and the seats.
