3. Steering systems
https://resource-center.meineke.com/when-
power-steering-goes-out/
 A small effort at the steering wheel is multiplied into a larger
effort at the steering linkage
 The steering ratio - A typical rotation 16:1 (In order to turn the
front wheels by one degree the steering wheel has to rotated
16 degrees.
 Light sports car – 12:1
 Large heavy automobile – 20:1
 Small commercial cars – 17:1

4.Suspension systems:
 To safe guard the passenger and goods against road
shocks.
 To prevent the road shock from getting transmitted to
the vehicle body.
 To preserve the stability of the vehicle while in
motion.
 To provide proper road hold when driving cornering
and braking.
 To maintain proper steering geometry.
 To keep the body perfectly in proper level while
traveling on an uneven path.
 To bear the torque and braking reaction.
 To provide suitable riding and cushioning properties

Brief History?
Horse carriage – Double leaf spring with dead axle
Beginning of twentieth century
1903 – Morse from Germany fitted a car with shock absorber
1920 – leyland uses torsion bar
1922 – independent front suspension on the lancia lambda
1932 – independent suspensions come to play
1934 – Citreon of france launched its car 7CV (Front drive & Ind Susp)
1949 – Triump Mayflower introduces combined coil & dampers
1950 – Ford adopted strut independent front suspension on MK 1
Citreon uses hydro pneumatic suspension
Today's high speed, sleek automobile owe a lot to the development that took place like the tiny hammer
blows of an artist that chisel out a piece of art

What is 5 star rating of car? Global NCAP crash test
 Star ratings indicate the level of safety a vehicle provides for occupants and
pedestrians in the event of a crash, as well as its ability — through technology —
to avoid or minimize the effects of a crash.
 NCAP safety ratings are determined based on a series of internationally
recognized, independent crash tests and safety assessments – involving a range of
destructive physical crash tests, an assessment of on-board safety features.
Vehicles are evaluated against four key areas:
• Adult Occupant Protection (AOP)
• Child Occupant Protection (COP)
• Vulnerable Road User Protection (VRU)
• Safety Assist (SA)
To achieve the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating, a vehicle must perform to
the highest level across all crash tests and assessments.
