eli5 Clutch Springs ≠ Wheel Springs why?

396 viewsEngineeringOther

TIL that springs exist inside clutch plate wheels and I’m told that they’re supposed to reduce shock. Please can someone explain like I’m five as to why they’re not in standard automotive wheels (the ones that tyres go on)? Would they actually help with suspension in any way or whatever?

Actually, springs are a common part of suspensions, and will be found above every wheel along with some sort of shock absorber to limit bouncing.
