unsprung weight
- Components such as tires, wheels and brakes are not supported by the suspension and are considered unsprung weight
- Reducing unsprung weight improves ride and handling by allowing the tires to respond more rapidly to road irregularities
- Independent rear suspension reduces unsprung weight by attaching the differential to the chassis rather than solidly mounting it with the axle.
