Why Do SUVs Use Non-Independent Suspension?
1 Answers
The application of non-independent suspension can expand the trunk space and reduce the manufacturing costs for producers. Non-independent suspension is also known as a "solid axle," where the left and right wheels cannot perform shock absorption independently, thus affecting the comfort of the vehicle's ride. Non-independent suspension can be divided into three types: torsion beam axle, torsion beam type, and parallel leaf spring type. Here are the specific details: 1. Torsion beam axle: The torsion beam axle is mainly used in front-engine, front-wheel-drive models. Its structure is very simple, occupies relatively less space, and can increase the usable space inside the vehicle cabin. It is mostly used in small cars. 2. Torsion beam type: The torsion beam type has a torsion beam set in the middle of the left and right trailing arms, making the suspension resemble an H-shape. The suspension system connects the front end of the trailing arm to the vehicle body. 3. Parallel leaf spring type: The parallel leaf spring type has a relatively simple structure, reducing the vehicle's manufacturing costs while maintaining high reliability. It is often used in vehicles with significant changes in body weight.
