Nowadays, many people who buy a car are not very satisfied with the handling performance of the original car. They like to add something to change the performance of the car. The car balance bar is one of them. It is very important for a car to install a balance bar reasonably. For many people, the balance bar is just a humble iron bar, but you may not know that this iron bar will have a significant impact on your car, but you don't really understand it. The role is just. Let's take a look at the role of the car balance bar and the pros and cons of the car balance bar:
The role of the balance bar When the left and right wheels travel through the same bump or hole on the road, the balance bar will not work. However, if the left and right wheels pass through different road bumps or holes, that is, when the level of the left and right wheels are different, it will cause the shaft to twist and produce anti-roll resistance (RollResistance) to inhibit the rolling of the body.
That is to say, when the suspension on the left and right sides move up and down synchronously, the balance bar will not work. Only when the suspension on the left and right sides moves out of sync due to road undulations or turning corners, the balance bar will work.
The function of the balance bar is that when the level of the left and right wheels are different, in order to prevent the shaft from twisting, the balance bar will produce anti-roll resistance (RollResistance) to inhibit the rolling of the body. That is: when the suspension on the left and right sides moves up and down synchronously, the balance bar will not work, and only when the suspension on the left and right sides moves out of sync due to road undulations or turning corners.
The balance bar will harden the road performance only when it acts, unlike a hard spring that will comprehensively harden the road performance. If you want to completely rely on springs to reduce the body's roll, you may need very hard springs, and even use shock absorbers with high damping coefficients to suppress the spring's bounce. In this way, we have to withstand hard springs and shock absorbers. The sequelae caused by the device, such as road performance and poor tracking when walking on uneven roads. But if it is matched with a proper balance bar, it can not only reduce the roll, but also do not have to sacrifice the comfort and tracking. Therefore, the combination of balance bars and springs is the most feasible way to achieve a compromise between road performance and handling.
The balance bar is not added indiscriminately. You must be optimistic about the texture and workmanship.-The balance bar does not mean that the higher the strength, the better, nor does it mean that the more toughness, the better. If the strength is too high, it will make you hang on it for a long time. It is the position where you install the balance bar to make a hole in the car body, and it is deformed (because the balance bar is too rigid, so this force deforms the body, because the steel plate of the body is relatively soft). The too soft balance bar does not improve the rigidity of the body, it can be said to be a decoration.
What are the disadvantages of car balance bars?
When the car is cornering, the centrifugal force will cause the body to roll, causing the inner wheel suspension to stretch and the outer wheel suspension to compress, causing the shaft of the anti-roll bar to twist, generating a large torque, which acts in the opposite direction. Suspension to prevent excessive lateral roll when turning and improve driving comfort. The anti-roll bar will harden the suspension only when it acts, unlike a hard spring that will harden the suspension in an all-round way. If you want to completely rely on springs to reduce the body's roll, you may need very hard springs, and even use shock absorbers with high damping coefficients to suppress the spring's bounce, so we have to withstand hard springs and shock absorbers. The sequelae of poor comfort caused by the device. However, if the anti-roll bar is properly matched, it can not only reduce the roll, but also do not have to sacrifice the comfort and tracking.
In summary, the function of the balance bar is that when the level of the left and right wheels are different, in order to prevent the shaft from twisting, the balance bar will produce anti-roll resistance (RollResistance) to inhibit the rolling of the body. That is: when the suspension on the left and right sides moves up and down synchronously, the balance bar will not work, and only when the suspension on the left and right sides moves out of sync due to road undulations or turning corners. Relatively speaking, if you don't have any special needs or severe driving, you don't need to install them.
