Suspension
Suspension tubing and links connecting the suspension system to support structures use plastics' strength and smooth surface with no need for machining or polishing. Additionally, plastics' light weight successfully helps complete a suspension system that is strong and rigid, yet light in weight and fully functional. Injection molded acetyl, nylon, and polypropylene are among the plastics used to make these components.
