| Rigid axle leaf spring suspension |
The leaf spring is usually made up of a number of leaves of different length. The top, or longest leaf, is normally referred to as the main leaf. |
| Rigid axle coil spring suspension |
The telescopic-type shock absorber is attached to the axle at the bottom and to the chassis at the top. The coil spring is mounted between the axle housing and the vehicle body. |
| Independent type suspension |
The trailing arm is attached to the chassis at a rigid cross-member pivot point. This pivot point is fitted with rubber bushes. The fixing frame is attached to the vehicle body. The frame supports the differential unit and its housing. |
| Rigid non-drive suspension | This type of suspension is known as a 'Dead Axle'. It does not transmit any drive. The panhard rods function is to assist in stabilizing the vehicle from lateral movements. |
