The diagram illustrating sprung weight and unsprung weight does not agree with the text. The text says the unsprung weight "is the mass of the suspension...

Contribution to unsprung, sprung and total weight. "These are usually small..." Not a true statement with respect to unsprung weight! Suspension accounts...

successfully integrated into the car over the years: aluminum wheels (reduced unsprung weight and allowed for better brake cooling), KYB shocks (firm up the suspension...

rest on top of a beam whose ends are connected to the axleboxes. The unsprung weight is low (but not minimal), comprising wheels, axles, axleboxes, equalising...

drive are chassis mounted, so they're not part of the unsprung weight. A de Dion exists for its weight saving, not for any change in geometry. Andy Dingley...

carrying the axle as is traditional. With the larger tubes on top, unsprung weight is lowered, stiction is reduced because the lower seal is much closer...

disadvantage of live axles is higher unsprung weight since the springs (and shock absorber) have to carry the weight of the axle and differential, affecting...

sprung and unsprung components as other independent suspension systems. It does not use an unsprung live axle thus does not have the extra weight of the live...

redirect back to here. DMahalko (talk) 22:05, 12 July 2009 (UTC) In the unsprung weight section is the following statement: "the Citroën 2CV had inertial dampers...

extra weight is unsprung. (the boldface is mine) I am of the opinion that this modification could easily account for a 15 cwt increase in weight. Gibson...

never seen a large unsprung rolling steel door. In the US it is normal practice to always counterbalance rolling steel doors. Unsprung doors have only one...

is labelled "sports car" and the 9-2X is certainly sportier (lower unsprung weight and improved suspension for instance). // Liftarn None of these classifications...

have unsprung engines. The goal in motorcycle design is to reduce unsprung weight to as low a level as possible. A problem with high unsprung weight in...

electronics. In addition to that, wheelmotors significantly contribute to unsprung mass while regenerative braking itself does not require wheel motors, any...

problems with drum rear brakes, and finally the advantages of less unsprung weight and higher stiffness. Source: "New ideas in wheels, forks and shocks"...

sprung mass and unsprung mass. A vehicle can have multiple unsprung masses and masses. Each mass amount has a measurable value (weight) and centroid (also...

much a personal decision. Functionality of front brake and clutch, bike weight? Those also are a matter of preference. —Preceding unsigned comment added...

shoe-horned facts that, in many cases, are completely irrelevant (eg the unsprung weight claim). It's particularly bizarre to see this bias at hub gear, since...

more weight to the wheel than is lost in the tire by reducing the sidewall height by one inch. And as we all know, increasing a cars unsprung weight is...
