What does suspension type mean?

[McIsabelle]

Suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle frame or monocoque body and the axle or wheels. Suspension types are mainly divided into independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Introduction to independent suspension: The suspension structure of each wheel is independent, and the movement of a single wheel does not affect other wheels, such as multi-link suspension and MacPherson suspension. Introduction to non-independent suspension: This means that wheels on the same axle are connected through the axle or other forms, so the movement of one wheel affects the other. A typical example is the solid axle non-independent suspension used in body-on-frame structures, which is commonly applied in trucks and large buses. There is also a semi-independent suspension, which belongs to the non-independent suspension category. Many sedans currently use this lower-cost suspension structure, which is an intermediate form between independent and non-independent suspensions on monocoque body structures, such as trailing-arm and torsion-beam suspensions.
