Tie Rods

If you notice the red race car below (part of likely the left front wheel and spring and tie rod, the tie rod is the bottom horizontal piece of metal going across. My concept of a damper gear was always the shock absorber (horizontal) usually put around the middle of the front of the vehicle to prevent wobble in the tie rod, especially at certain speeds if there are bumps in the roads.

Part of car front suspension and steering mechanism: tie rod, steering arm, king pin axis (using ball joints).

Van Diemen RF01 Racing Car Suspension.

Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two.^[1] Suspension systems serve a dual purpose — contributing to the vehicle's roadholding/handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and a ride quality reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, vibrations,etc.^[2] These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact with the road surface as much as possible, because all the road or ground forces acting on the vehicle do so through the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage from damage and wear. The design of front and rear suspension of a car may be different.
