What feature in the undercarriage helps to prevent wheel slip?

The traction control system plays a vital role in preventing wheel slip, particularly during acceleration or when driving on slippery surfaces. This system detects when one or more wheels are starting to spin faster than the others, indicating a loss of traction. By automatically adjusting the engine's power output and/or applying braking force to the affected wheels, the traction control system helps maintain grip and stability, providing better control of the vehicle.

In contrast, while the anti-lock braking system also enhances vehicle control, its primary function is to prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking. Stabilizer bars are designed mainly to reduce body roll during cornering for improved handling, and shock absorbers work to manage the ride quality and control the rebound of the suspension system. These features support overall vehicle stability but are not specifically aimed at preventing wheel slip under acceleration. Therefore, the traction control system is the feature specifically designed to manage wheel slip effectively.
