How many types of suspension systems are there?
1 Answers
Suspension systems can be categorized into eight types: non-independent suspension, independent suspension, swing-arm suspension, multi-link suspension, trailing-arm suspension, candle suspension, MacPherson suspension, and active suspension. Common independent suspension systems include multi-link suspension systems, MacPherson suspension systems, and trailing-arm suspension systems. As modern people increasingly demand better ride comfort and handling stability, non-independent suspension systems have been phased out. Independent suspension systems are now widely adopted by automobile manufacturers due to their advantages such as excellent wheel contact with the ground, significantly improved ride comfort and handling stability, free movement of the left and right wheels, greater freedom between the tires and the ground, and better vehicle control.
