What is MacPherson Independent Suspension?

[James]

MacPherson independent suspension is: a type of suspension system that connects the body, frame, and wheels, primarily consisting of shock absorbers, suspension springs, lower control arms, longitudinal rods, steering knuckle arms, rubber bushings, and linkages. The function of the suspension is: to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, cushion the impacts from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. The main structure of MacPherson independent suspension is: a coil spring mounted over a shock absorber. The shock absorber prevents the coil spring from shifting forward, backward, left, or right when under force, restricting the spring to only vertical vibrations. The stiffness and performance of the suspension can be adjusted by the length and tightness of the shock absorber's travel.
