What are the disadvantages of non-independent suspension?
1 Answers
The disadvantage of non-independent suspension is that the left and right wheels of the car will interfere with each other when bouncing, thereby reducing ride comfort and handling stability. The specific differences between non-independent suspension and independent suspension: Structural aspect: In an independent suspension system, each wheel is individually suspended under the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. In contrast, a non-independent suspension connects both wheels with an integrated frame, and the wheels along with the axle are suspended under the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. Advantages: The benefits of independent suspension include lighter weight, reduced impact on the overall body, improved wheel traction, and better comfort compared to non-independent suspension. The advantages of non-independent suspension are its simple design structure, lighter weight, smaller space occupation, and higher strength compared to independent suspension. Application: Independent suspensions can mainly be categorized into MacPherson strut, double wishbone, multi-link, etc. Most modern cars use independent suspension systems, making them more widely applied than non-independent suspensions. The most commonly used non-independent suspensions are the torsion beam, trailing arm, and leaf spring types. In modern cars, only cost-sensitive models typically use these, while they are more commonly found in trucks and buses.
