An independent element of the car's front suspension is the strut. It provides limited vertical movement of the wheel. The strut holds the wheels in place, preventing them from rolling to the sides. Depending on the design features, the struts are divided into types, which depend on the number of attachment points. They are also classified according to the direction of movement of the vehicle. Mainly, A-shaped products are used in pendants. They are called triangular levers. Also use H-shaped and straight product options. They provide common jumpers.

The construction of the VAICO brand Rod/Strut, wheel suspension

The design of the modern suspension arm is represented mainly by an elongated cast piece that is made of light alloy. It has stiffening ribs that are in the longitudinal direction. There are tides at both ends. One of the ends is provided with a cylindrical boss. A silent block is pressed into it. This part serves as a gasket when the arm is attached to the body, subframe, and frame. An annular bead is provided at the second end. It is intended for the subsequent fastening of the ball joint.
