Description

TRANSFORM VEHICLE DYNAMICS BY SUPPRESSING UNWANTED BODY FLEX AND VIBRATION.

GR Yaris Gen1

GR Yaris Gen2

The SARD DAMPER is a precision-engineered chassis damping system developed through a collaboration between SARD and Aisin.

Installed at strategic points in the front and rear of the cabin where significant body twist occurs, this system uses advanced friction-damping technology to suppress unpleasant vibrations and roll overshoot, resulting in a marked improvement in both steering response and overall ride quality.

Product Highlights

🏁 IMPROVED LINE TRACING PERFORMANCE
By effectively damping chassis flex, the SARD DAMPER helps the vehicle maintain its intended line with greater precision, inspiring driver confidence during cornering and high-speed maneuvers.

🔧 REDUCED BODY ROLL DURING CORNERING
The system actively controls body roll, keeping the vehicle flatter and more stable through corners. This improved roll control allows for more aggressive cornering and better tire contact with the road surface.

⚙️ ENHANCED STABILITY AFTER IMPACTS
The damper significantly improves the stability of vertical roll after the vehicle passes over road surface irregularities, such as bumps or undulations. This reduces post-impact rebound and settling, keeping the chassis composed and the driver in control.

🎯 AISIN’S ADVANCED FRICTION DAMPER TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of the system is Aisin’s unique friction damper, which combines a disc spring and friction plate. Unlike oil-type dampers, this design is effective even at very low extension and retraction stroke speeds. This results in:

• Improved Steering Operability: Immediate damping of subtle chassis movements for sharper steering feel.

• Suppression of Micro-Vibrations: Effectively cancels the slightest vibrations that can be transmitted to the driver, contributing to a high-quality, refined ride.

• Superior Roll Angle Control: More effective management of roll angles compared to conventional oil dampers.
