Correct answer
Suspension system.
The suspension system in a lorry is the set of components fitted between the wheel axles and the bodywork or chassis, which absorb irregularities in the road surface being driven on in order to increase vehicle comfort and control. The suspension system acts between the chassis and the wheels, which directly receive the irregularities of the surface being driven over.
