What do front overhang and rear overhang mean?
1 Answers
Front overhang and rear overhang refer to the distance from the foremost point of the vehicle to the center of the front axle and the distance from the rearmost point of the vehicle to the center of the rear axle, respectively. Currently, mainstream front suspension types are mainly divided into: MacPherson strut, double wishbone, multi-link, swing axle, and torsion beam spring types. The main types of rear suspension systems are link-type and swing-arm type. Vehicle suspensions are generally categorized into independent and non-independent suspensions. If all four wheels are connected to the vehicle body with independent suspensions and can move up and down independently, it is considered an independent suspension. If the wheels on both sides share a single suspension and axle connection without independent up-and-down movement, it is classified as a non-independent suspension.
