What are the advantages of MacPherson independent suspension?
1 Answers
MacPherson independent suspension offers the following advantages: simple structure, low cost, and excellent comfort. The MacPherson independent suspension primarily consists of a coil spring paired with a shock absorber. The shock absorber prevents the coil spring from shifting forward, backward, left, or right when under force, restricting the spring to only vertical vibrations. Additionally, the suspension's stiffness and performance can be adjusted by varying the length and tightness of the shock absorber's travel. The suspension system of a car refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the vehicle's frame and its axles or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and moments acting between the wheels and the frame, cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving.
