Q:The shock absorbers in the suspension system of a car are in such bad shape that they have no effect on the behavior of the springs attached to the axles. Each of the identical springs attached to the front axle supports 312 kg. A person pushes down on the middle of the front end of the car and notices that it vibrates through five cycles in 3.2 s. Find the spring constant of either spring.

The period of a spring is given by the formula: T 2π*sqrt(m/k), where m is the mass on the spring and k is the spring constant. Since we need to solve for k, we do some rearranging to get: k (4π^2*m) / (T^2) If it goes through 5 cycles in 3.2 seconds, then the period is 3.2 / 5 0.64s. Now, we have all the numbers we need to plug into the equation. k (4π^2 * 312) / (0.64^2) 30071 N/m

Q:Whats the best suspension for a 71 charger?

I was building resto rod corvettes, 54 to 67 models. all were fitted with handling suspension and designed to corner as well as get good traction straight line. we used parts from street and performance an awsome company you can check them out on line. we used fully adjustable coil over shocks, 3 link rear super size sway bars, springs were all ultra light weight non steel materials. the steering was tight ratio rack and pinion power. we also purchased from jim meyer racing much of our stuff. great guys by the way.

Q:besides passing emissions tests, smog check and safety airbags, what are factors that render a car illegal to drive on the street? I am talking here more about engine specs. If speed is a factor, where is the cutoff where a car goes from being legal to illegal?

Q:i am lookin at a rough country lift for my 95 chevy silverado k1500 4x4 i want a six inch suspension lift and i need to know is rought country gonna nickel and dime me and have to buy several different parts or does a kit include everything to do it with the exception of the steering stabilizer.

best one hands down fab-tec

Q:I went over a speed bump yesterday and it hit the bottom of my car. Something is hanging off of it now (behind the right front tire) and when I was driving it, it‘d be hitting the tire making a grinding noise. It‘s a flat metal square, like the cover to something. I have to take it to the mechanic but can‘t drive it fast or that thing might break even worse but I can tape it so it‘s not hanging by the tire. I have a 2001 bmw 540i.

The flat metal square is probably part of the suspension system in the car. I wouldn't worry too much about it. the square isn't a mechanical part and it probably isn't part of a mechanical part that moves or rotates or pumps. Heat is created by friction and compression for the most part in internal combustion engines. Anywhere else other than the transmission, tires (rubbing on the ground), brakes, or drive shaft should not heat up significantly. Go ahead and tape it.

Q:what is wrong with my bus if when it is off my suspension air bags deflate?

There is a leak somewhere in the air system unless it has something on it meant to deflate the bags

Q:I got my license on a six month suspension 1 year ago, but it hasn‘t been officially revoked yet. Did someone just forget to process this and suspend it, or is this typically how long it takes to process a license suspension?

NO, that is not typical, 4 to 6 weeks is typical.}{

Q:i want to buy an air suspension system for my s-10 and i already have the compressor, an airtank and two bags. What else do I need?

As soon as it turns from liquid to solid it's ready for use.

Q:orientation of information system(yahoo answers)

It is more of a money oriented system, as they can tell advertisers that they have 100 million members (but not telling them that 10% of those accounts are in suspension or that a lot of the ads will fall on deaf ears)

Q:What kind of system can I use to replace an old hydraulic system which is mechanical What components can be used in replacing hydraulic suspension system?

not all touring diesels came with leveling system if yours is so far gone it can't be fixed your best bet is to either purchase a clunker and swap the suspension out or purchase what you need from a salvage yard. at minimum you will need the springs and normal rear shocks from a 123 bodied sedan.or wagon
