What are the three types of suspension in Wuling Hongguang?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear semi-independent suspension with spiral spring link swing arm, which is also commonly used in many small cars. Traction Arm Suspension System: The traction arm suspension system is specifically designed for rear wheel suspension systems. European car models such as Peugeot, Citroën, and Opel prefer this type of suspension system. Multi-link Suspension System: The multi-link suspension system is further divided into a 5-link rear suspension and a 4-link front suspension system. As the name suggests, the 5-link rear suspension system includes five links: the control arm, rear positioning arm, upper arm, lower arm, and front positioning arm. Among these, the control arm can adjust the front wheel beam. 4-link Front Suspension System: Primarily used in luxury cars, this system cleverly separates traction force, braking force, and steering force through kinematic principles while providing the vehicle with precise steering control. The 4-link suspension system is commonly found in Audi A4, A6, and Chinese luxury cars.
The suspension system of the Wuling Hongguang includes three main types: the front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, ingeniously designed to enhance handling by combining springs and shock absorber struts, making turns more stable; the rear suspension typically employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension, which is simple and durable, especially capable of bearing heavy loads; the third type consists of damping components, including hydraulic shock absorbers and spring combinations, whose role is to absorb road vibrations and maintain body stability. These suspensions work together to ensure a comfortable ride even on rough urban and rural roads. I personally trust it when transporting goods, but regular checks for loose suspension bolts can prevent noise issues. Overall maintenance costs are low, though the older models with rear leaf spring suspensions are a bit stiffer—when choosing a vehicle, the torsion beam version is preferred for greater comfort.
