Learning - Unsprung Weight vs Sprung Weight

Unsprung Weight – This is the weight of the vehicle that is not supported by the suspension. An example of what would be considered part of the unsprung weight would be the wheel, tire, brake caliper, brake rotor, spindle, lower control arm etc., and half of the weight of the spring and shock.
Sprung Weight – This is the weight of the vehicle, which is supported by the suspension. This would include the chassis, upper control arm, body, driver, passenger(s), engine, transmission, interior components, fuel, ballast and any other weight that would be supported by the suspension.

 

Apropos of nothing at all....or is this just overflow??

Congrats on learning something.

 

I hope there will be some serious replies here, as the cars we build here,.. like shorty 20's to early 30's rods with heavy rear axles but have so little weight on the rear suspensions.

 

seriously?

 

Hope it ends good
I think it started on the edges of spam

 

Yep...

Smells like Spam.

Its great if somebody posts some stuff we can learn from.

But the next time, I hope it will be a bit better than a quick Copy & Paste with only the most basic and simple info...
