What suspension does the new Navigator use?
1 Answers
The new Navigator features a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The Navigator is a large luxury SUV under the Lincoln brand, which places great emphasis on comfort, hence the adoption of this front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspension combination. The suspension connects the body to the wheels and has a significant impact on the vehicle's handling and comfort. The multi-link suspension is actually an improvement based on the double-wishbone suspension, where the two wishbones of the double-wishbone suspension are replaced with separate links. The double-wishbone suspension can reduce body roll and minimize brake dive. It also absorbs more impacts and vibrations, thereby enhancing ride comfort. The multi-link suspension improves wheel contact with the ground, which in turn enhances traction.
