The biggest difference between independent suspension and non-independent suspension lies in whether there is a connection in the middle. Independent suspension has no connection in the middle, while non-independent suspension has a connection in the middle. This is also why independent suspension offers better comfort and handling compared to non-independent suspension. Below is a detailed introduction to suspension: 1. Suspension is a crucial component in a car's chassis, used to connect the wheels to the body. Without suspension, a car cannot operate normally. There are various types of suspension structures. Common independent suspensions in cars include MacPherson suspension, multi-link suspension, double-wishbone suspension, double A-arm suspension, and double ball-joint suspension. Non-independent suspensions in cars include torsion beam suspension and solid axle suspension. 2. MacPherson suspension is the most common type of independent suspension. Most cars use MacPherson suspension for the front suspension. It is the simplest, most widely used, and most cost-effective independent suspension. Double-wishbone suspension is a more high-end independent suspension, consisting of upper and lower wishbones. Multi-link suspension and double A-arm suspension are actually improvements based on the double-wishbone suspension. Multi-link suspension is a more complex version of the double-wishbone suspension, where the two wishbones are replaced with individual links. Double A-arm suspension is a simplified version of the double-wishbone suspension, where the two wishbones are replaced with two links.

To generate a spark between the spark plug electrode gaps to ignite the air-fuel mixture, ensuring the engine operates normally. The working principle of a spark plug is: under the control of the engine, it introduces the high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder, creating a spark between the spark plug electrode gaps to ignite the mixed gas, enabling the engine to run smoothly.

What Causes Brake Grooves?

Here are the specific reasons for grooves appearing on brake discs: 1. Only the front or rear brake discs have grooves. This situation is generally caused by driving habits and frequently uneven distribution of braking force between the front and rear. 2. Only one brake disc has grooves while others are normal. This is usually caused by material issues or external forces, with possible factors as follows: (1) Foreign objects getting stuck between the brake disc and brake pads, especially when heavy braking occurs. (2) Uneven force distribution from the brake caliper. (3) Manufacturing defects in the brake pads, resulting in uneven composite materials, excessively hard brake pads, or large metal particles in the brake pads.
