TRANSMISSION OF VIBRATIONS BY SUSPENSION ELEMENTS AND CONNECTION COMPONENTS WITH THE VEHICLE BODY

The problem is discussed of passenger car body vibrations, which are mainly caused by forces transmitted by tracks. These result mainly from track irregularities and flat or out-of-balance wheels. When out-of-balance exists, the horizontal connecting member between car body and the track has a harmful effect, plus differences in wheel diameters cause in and out of phase vibrations. Vibrations on the test bench may be different from that of the track which has not been explained.
