The differences between independent suspension and torsion beam suspension are: 1. Different components: Independent suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and damping springs; torsion beam suspension balances the up-and-down movement of the left and right wheels through a torsion beam, reducing vehicle sway. 2. Different functions: Independent suspension provides a certain level of comfort, with more links to keep the wheels perpendicular to the ground and reduce body tilt; torsion beam suspension has torsional rigidity, reducing vibration through elasticity. 3. Different applications: Independent suspension is used in medium and large-sized cars; torsion beam suspension is used in trucks, ordinary buses, and small cars.

What are the reasons for a car remote control not responding when pressed?

The reasons for a car remote control not responding when pressed are as follows: 1. Poor contact of the key battery: Reinstall the battery and check if the indicator light on the remote control lights up. If it doesn't, replace the battery first, then confirm whether the issue is with the remote control itself. It may be due to long-term use causing the conductive layer on the contact surface under the buttons to wear out, preventing conductivity and resulting in malfunction. 2. Signal interference: Signal interference can also cause malfunction. Check for signal interference. If there is a strong magnetic field nearby, you can use mechanical unlocking or move the car to another location.
