Ingalo yokushwiba, ngokuvamile etholakala phakathi kwesondo nomzimba, iyingxenye yokuphepha komshayeli edlulisa amandla, yenza buthaka ukuqhuba kokudlidliza, futhi ilawule indlela. Leli phepha lethula ukwakheka okuvamile kwengalo yokushwiba emakethe, futhi liqhathanise futhi lihlaziye umthelela wezinhlaka ezahlukene kunqubo, ikhwalithi kanye nentengo.
Ukumiswa kwe-chassis yemoto ngokuvamile kuhlukaniswe nge-suspension yangaphambili kanye ne-suspension yangemuva, ukumiswa kwangaphambili nangemuva kunezingalo ezinyakazayo ezixhunywe esondweni kanye nomzimba, izingalo zokushwiba zivame ukutholakala phakathi kwesondo nomzimba.
Iqhaza lengalo eshwibayo engumhlahlandlela ukuxhuma isondo nohlaka, ukudlulisa amandla, ukunciphisa ukudlidliza, nokulawula indlela, okuyingxenye yokuphepha ehlanganisa umshayeli. Kunezingxenye zesakhiwo ohlelweni lokumiswa oludlulisa amandla, ukuze isondo lihambe ngokuhambisana ne-trajectory ethile ehlobene nomzimba. Izingxenye zesakhiwo zidlulisela umthwalo, futhi lonke uhlelo lokumiswa luthatha ukusebenza kokusingatha imoto.
