The site is amazing! For someone only vaguely familiar with the mechanical-side of cars, it was a pleasant surprise to see all this quality content consolidated outside of a textbook. I was reading the sections on suspension systems and the diagrams look just plain beautiful!

Dated or not, it is definitely a great place to get some fundamentals straight. So I took the liberty of posting it on HN this morning.

Thanks for the great work!

Thanks! I'm curious - did you just find the site on Google? Over the past two months I've re-mastered the old illustrations with a few filters and the difference is incredible. There's still a little more to do but I'm pleased you find it useful. The next step is to update the iOS app with new versions of the pics.

Here's a comparison of the pics:

Old - http://www.howacarworks.com/images/846/leaf-spring-suspensio... New - http://www.howacarworks.com/illustration/1333/leaf-spring-su...

Yes! It was the top result for 'car damper working' and a bunch of other search terms.

I love when people are interested in suspension. Its both one of the most ignored (in standard cars) and most important parts of a car.
