What are the characteristics of independent suspension?

[BeckettMarie]

Independent suspension has the following characteristics: 1. It can reduce unsprung mass, providing excellent wheel directional stability, high ride comfort, and superior handling stability; 2. In independent suspension systems, springs only support the vehicle body without affecting wheel alignment (which is handled by linkage mechanisms), allowing the use of softer springs; 3. There is no axle connection between left and right wheels, enabling lower installation positions for the floor panel and engine, which lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, enhances driving stability, and increases cabin and trunk space; 4. The structure is relatively more complex compared to solid axle suspensions, requiring stabilizer bars to reduce body roll during cornering and maintain stability; 5. The track width and front wheel alignment change with the vertical movement of the wheels.
