Suspension System: It absorbs shocks and maintains vehicle stability while driving. It consists of springs, shock absorbers, arms and links, and stabilizer bars. Types include independent and non-independent suspension. Its importance lies in providing comfort and preventing excessive vibrations. Fault diagnosis involves noticing noise, vehicle tilting, or uneven tire wear. Steering System: It allows precise control of the vehicle’s direction. It consists of the steering wheel, column, steering box, and tie rods. Types include mechanical, hydraulic, and electric steering. Its importance is in easy maneuvering and achieving stability. Fault diagnosis includes difficulty turning the wheel, vehicle pulling, or fluid leakage. Braking System: Responsible for stopping the vehicle and controlling its speed safely. It consists of the brake pedal, cylinders, discs or drums, and brake lines. Types include disc brakes, drum brakes, and ABS anti-lock braking systems. Its importance lies in ensuring quick stops and preventing skidding. Fault diagnosis involves poor response, grinding noises, or ABS warning signals.
