Does the Jetta have independent suspension?
1 Answers
The Jetta features independent suspension at the front with a MacPherson strut setup, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Advantages of MacPherson independent suspension: The MacPherson suspension has a simple structure, primarily composed of a coil spring combined with a shock absorber. This makes the MacPherson suspension lighter and provides faster response times. Stability and comfort: Multi-link suspensions have more links than MacPherson suspensions, consisting of three or more connecting rods. They provide control forces in multiple directions, ensuring more reliable tire trajectories. This suspension structure helps keep the wheels as perpendicular to the ground as possible.
