main bearings: the bearings in an engine block that support the crankshaft. mid-engine: a chassis layout that positions the engine behind the passenger compartment but ahead of the rear axle. monocoque: a type of body structure that derives its strength and rigidity from the use of thin, carefully shaped and joined panels, rather than from a framework of thick members. Also called "unit" or "unitized construction." multileaf spring: a leaf spring with several leaves bundled together by steel bands. multilink suspension: a rear suspension consisting of at least four links, or "arms," and no struts. Because multilink suspensions assign specific wheel-locating duties to each element, they provide great flexibility for optimizing both ride and handling. |
