What Are the Types of Independent Suspension?
1 Answers
Independent suspension types include double-wishbone, single-wishbone, trailing arm, single oblique arm, multi-link, and MacPherson strut (link-rod/swing-arm) types. Here is more relevant information: 1. Advantages of Independent Suspension: Its main benefits are that impacts on one wheel do not affect the other, and the suspension is lightweight with excellent shock absorption and damping performance. Independent suspension reduces unsprung mass (the weight of components below the suspension), improving vehicle handling and ride comfort. Since it uses a split axle design, it can also lower the engine position, simplify chassis layout, and facilitate lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. 2. Independent Suspension Location: Independent suspension means each wheel on either side of the vehicle is individually connected to the frame or body through an elastic suspension system.
