Volkswagen Passat's suspension system features MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The introduction and classification of independent suspension are as follows: Introduction to independent suspension: Independent suspension means that the left and right wheels are not connected to a rigid axle, but are each connected to the body through links and springs, allowing them to move independently. When one wheel encounters road impact and bounces, it does not affect the operation of the other wheel. This type of suspension offers better elasticity, absorbs road vibrations, provides stable high-speed driving, and since there is no connecting axle, it can lower the height of the engine and cabin, increasing interior and trunk space. Most sedans use independent suspension. Classification of independent suspension systems: Depending on their structural forms, independent suspension systems can be further divided into swing-arm type, trailing-arm type, multi-link type, strut type, and MacPherson strut suspension systems, among others.
