What does independent suspension in cars mean?

[SanReid]

Independent suspension in cars means that the wheels on each side are individually suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. The suspension system refers to the entire support system composed of springs and shock absorbers between the body and the tires. The functions of the suspension system include supporting the body and improving the ride comfort, with different suspension settings providing drivers with varying driving experiences. Advantages of independent suspension in cars: 1. Lightweight, reducing the impact on the body and improving the ground adhesion of the wheels; 2. Softer springs with lower stiffness can be used to enhance the comfort of the car; 3. It allows the engine to be positioned lower, lowering the car's center of gravity and improving driving stability; 4. Left and right wheels can move independently, reducing body tilt and vibration.
