According to the different control forms, it is divided into passive suspension and active suspension. According to the different car guide mechanisms, it is divided into independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Independent suspension can be divided into wishbone type, Trailing arm type, multi-link type, candle type and MacPherson type, etc., and torsion beam suspension is divided into torsion beam non-independent suspension and torsion beam semi-independent suspension.
Which is better, independent suspension or torsion beam suspension?
The advantage of independent suspension is that the wheels of independent suspension are independent. The vibration ups and downs of one wheel will not affect the wheel on the other side, while the torsion beam is a suspension composed of a beam. The left and right wheels are connected, and the beating of one wheel will inevitably affect the wheel on the other side. Therefore, the driving comfort and control of independent suspension are relatively better.
The disadvantage of independent suspension is that it is not as rigid as a torsion beam. The joints of each connecting rod bear a lot of force, so the wear is greater and the maintenance cost is higher. The materials and structure used in the research and development process The requirements are high, so the price will be much higher. The structure of the torsion beam is very strong and durable, and the deformation rate is also very low, but relatively speaking, the weight of the torsion beam suspension is much higher.
Being equipped with non-independent suspension is not inferior to independent suspension. The normal driving feeling is not obvious. Its structure can also maintain good high-speed stability, but it is not the opponent of multi-link in corners. What really determines performance is the manufacturer's design, technical maturity and tuning skills, while other configurations are also crucial.
