Brewster's side bar suspension is a type of suspension system used in some car designs, notably in older vehicles. It features side bars that connect the axle to the chassis, allowing for improved stability and handling by controlling lateral movement. This design enhances ride quality and reduces body roll during cornering. The system is named after its inventor, Sir David Brewster, who contributed to automotive engineering in the 19th century.

What do the sway bar links do?

A sway bar is a torsion bar mounted laterally on a suspension and is designed to reduce side sway. The sway bar attempts to accomplish this by transferring movement from one side of the suspension to the other. This is done through the connection of a torsion bar to each side of an axle by flexible links. (Sway bar links)

What is point of suspension in bar pendulum?

The point of suspension in a bar pendulum is the fixed point where the bar is attached to a support. It allows the bar to swing back and forth freely. The length of the bar and the position of the point of suspension affect the period of the pendulum's oscillation.


What is a stabilizer link?

Stabilizer link = Sway bar link in old guy speak There is a metal bar called a sway bar that runs from side to side on most cars. It is attached to the suspension to the bar by links in most applications Some light trucks mount the bar to the axle and link to the frame from the ends of the bar.

What is center of suspension in bar pendulum?

The center of suspension in a bar pendulum is the point about which the bar is free to rotate. It is the pivoting point that allows the bar to swing back and forth. The center of suspension is usually located at the top end of the bar where it is connected to a fixed point.

What are torsion bars?

A torsion bar is used in an auto suspension. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension or torsion beam suspension, is a general term for any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance. The effective spring rate of the bar is determined by its length, cross section, shape, material, and manufacturing process.
