What are the types of independent suspension in cars?
1 Answers
There are 7 types of independent suspension in cars: trailing arm suspension, multi-link suspension, transverse arm suspension, longitudinal arm suspension, candle suspension, MacPherson suspension, and active suspension. The suspension system refers to the entire support system composed of springs and shock absorbers between the body and the tires, with the function of supporting the body and improving the riding experience. Different suspension settings will give drivers different driving sensations. The suspension system of a car is divided into two types: non-independent suspension and independent suspension. In non-independent suspension, the wheels are mounted at both ends of a solid axle, so when one wheel jumps, the other side wheel also jumps accordingly, causing the entire body to vibrate or tilt. In independent suspension, the axle is divided into two sections, and each wheel is independently installed under the frame by a coil spring. When one wheel jumps, the other wheel is not affected, and both wheels can move independently, improving the stability and comfort of the car.
