Sudden Rough Idling/Car Shaking

[jick.cejoco]

2014 toyota altis curb weight 2799 lbs



1/2" steel cable safe load 4200 lbs
break point load 21400 lbs


7/8" steel cable safe load 12900 lbs
break point load 64400 lbs

compare the 1/2 inch steel cable to the shaft of the rear shock absorber although the shaft is solid and the cable is stranded

compare the 1/8 inch steel cable to the front strut shaft again, the strut shaft is solid and the cable is stranded



even if you hang the whole car on the weaker shock absorber from one side by itself, the shaft should be able to support the weight without significant elasticity.

but the unsprung weight ( the weight of the suspension components that are not supported by the spring when the car is on the ground, i.e., inflated tires on a wheel, brake caliper, brake hose, the brake fluid inside the caliper, the caliper mount, the strut itself and everything on it, it will not amount to 200 pounds per wheel.

now son, ask for a refund from your physics instructor
