How many types of car suspensions are there?
1 Answers
Car suspensions are divided into two types: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Independent suspensions include MacPherson strut independent suspension, transverse arm independent suspension, longitudinal arm independent suspension, and double-wishbone independent suspension. Non-independent suspensions include leaf spring non-independent suspension, coil spring non-independent suspension, and main-secondary leaf spring non-independent suspension. The suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and axle. It supports the vehicle body and can also reduce the transmission of vibrations when the car passes over bumpy roads, making the ride more comfortable for passengers. The suspension consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, and shock absorbers. Some vehicle models also have an anti-roll bar on the suspension to reduce body roll during high-speed cornering, improving the stability and driving limits of the car.
