Chassis & Suspension Lab
The Chassis and Suspension Lab provides hands-on experience with vehicle frame structures, steering mechanisms, braking systems, and modern suspension geometries. Students explore the dynamics of vehicle handling, ride comfort, and stability, while gaining practical knowledge of steering linkages, shock absorbers, and wheel alignment to analyze and optimize automotive control and safety systems.
Key Features & Equipment:
- Steering Gearboxes and Linkage Models (Rack & Pinion, Recirculating Ball)
- Independent and Rigid Suspension System Cut-sections
- Hydraulic and Pneumatic Braking System Test Rigs
- Wheel Alignment and Balancing Equipment
- Shock Absorber and Spring Testing Setups
Applications:
- Study of steering geometry and wheel alignment parameters (Camber, Caster, Toe)
- Analysis of suspension dynamics, ride comfort, and vehicle handling
- Hands-on training in brake system inspection, bleeding, and maintenance
- Evaluation of shock absorber performance and vehicle stability control
