What is the difference between independent suspension and non-independent suspension in cars?
1 Answers
The differences between independent suspension and non-independent suspension in cars are: 1. Different structure: Independent suspension means each wheel on either side is individually connected to the frame or body via an elastic suspension system; Non-independent suspension means both wheels are connected by an integrated frame, and the wheels along with the axle are suspended under the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. 2. Different focus: Independent suspension focuses on comfort; Non-independent suspension focuses on high strength. 3. Different applications: Independent suspension can mainly be divided into MacPherson strut, double wishbone, multi-link, and link-rod types, and most modern cars use independent suspension systems; Non-independent suspension commonly includes torsion beam, trailing arm, and leaf spring types, and in modern cars, only models with strict cost control will use them.
