What type of suspension does the Citroën Xsara use?
1 Answers
The Citroën Xsara uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a trapezoidal guide swing-arm rear suspension at the back. More details about the suspension are as follows: 1. The function of the suspension is to connect the body and the wheels. There are two main types of suspension on vehicles: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. 2. Independent suspension includes MacPherson suspension, multi-link suspension, double-wishbone suspension, double transverse arm suspension, and double ball joint suspension. Naturally, there is no connection between the two wheels on the same axle in an independent suspension. 3. Non-independent suspension includes torsion beam suspension and solid axle suspension. Naturally, the two wheels on the same axle in a non-independent suspension are connected together. 4. The handling and comfort of independent suspension are generally better than those of non-independent suspension. Non-independent suspension has a simpler structure, with fewer components. Non-independent suspension occupies less space, allowing for more interior and trunk space. Moreover, non-independent suspension is less costly. Additional information: The Xsara is a compact car under the Citroën brand, and all models are equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT transmission.
