| + | The spring action is created by a beam that runs across (left to right) the vehicle. Within this beam is usually two spring steel rods that are joined to the housing beam in the middle and have each end connected to a pivot arm that joins onto the wheel hub of both sides. Therefore as the weight is put on the suspension the spring steel rods will 'twist'. This method is used with a shock absorber mounted separately and often means that the ride height of the vehicle can be adjusted. | ||
