What are the disadvantages of a double ball joint suspension?
1 Answers
The drawback of a double ball joint suspension is that it cannot balance both comfort and handling. This type of suspension offers better handling but reduces comfort and makes the steering feel heavier. Below are the relevant details: 1. Double Ball Joint Suspension: The double ball joint suspension is actually an improved version of the MacPherson suspension. It replaces the L-shaped control arm of the MacPherson suspension with two links, creating two connection points between the suspension and the knuckle, hence the name double ball joint suspension. 2. Advantages: The double ball joint suspension can enhance the car's handling and improve steering precision. Many sporty cars from BMW use the double ball joint independent suspension, including many M Power series models.
