What are the types of chassis suspension?
1 Answers
Chassis suspension types include: non-independent suspension, independent suspension, transverse arm suspension, multi-link suspension, longitudinal arm suspension, strut suspension, MacPherson suspension, active suspension, etc. Most vehicles use MacPherson suspension for the front suspension, as it occupies less space and has strong road adaptability. Here are the detailed introductions: 1. Independent suspension: Advantages include light weight, reduced impact on the vehicle body, and improved wheel ground adhesion; softer springs with lower stiffness can be used to enhance ride comfort; it allows the engine to be positioned lower, lowering the vehicle's center of gravity, thereby improving driving stability. 2. MacPherson suspension: Advantages include compact structure, minimal changes in front wheel alignment parameters during wheel movement, excellent handling stability, and the elimination of the upper transverse arm, which facilitates the arrangement of the engine and steering system; compared to independent suspension systems, the side forces on the strut are significantly improved.
