Introduction To Independent Suspension

Independent suspension is that the wheels on each side are individually suspended under the frame or body through elastic suspension. Its advantages are: light weight, reducing the impact of the body, and improving the ground adhesion of the wheels; using a softer spring with low stiffness to improve the comfort of the car; it can reduce the position of the engine and the center of gravity of the car, thus Improve the driving stability of the car; the left and right wheels beat independently and are not related to each other, which can reduce the tilt and vibration of the body. However, independent suspension has the disadvantages of complex structure, high cost and inconvenient maintenance. Modern cars mostly use independent suspensions. According to their different structural forms, independent suspensions can be divided into horizontal arm type, trailing arm type, multi-link type, candle type and MacPherson suspension.
