suspension systems

[badkuk]

Hi All!

Ano ba ung more common suspension on cars these days(e.g. trapezoidal link, multi-link beam system, etc)? Ano kaya ung pros and cons of each?

wishbone, mc-pherson. yun ang mga nadidinig ko eh. pero i really can't tell the difference.

Sa mga more higher models or high performance cars , double wishbones .

present models:
honda civic-front mcpherson , rear dbl wishbone
corolla altis- front mcpherson, rear torsion bar
nissan sentra - front mcpherson , rear multi link beam
mitsubishi lancer - front mcpherson , rear multi link
ford lynx - front mcpherson, rear independent strut

Uso ang McPherson strut nowadays because it is cheap and compact. Even Honda started using struts on Civics due to cost cutting and space constraints (they used to use double wishbones).

However, struts are not really that bad. Most BMW models use struts. It all boils down to tuning and having a good structure to attach the struts on.

pero ganda ng double wishbone setup on all four sa honda crv, ang lambot!

kahit yung Acura RSX, naka McPherson sa front and double wishbone sa rear.

what do ppl actually mean pag sinabing "sports" suspension? Mas madali bang masira?

[benchph1]

When they sports suspension, the stock setup is replaced with a firmer set of shocks & springs, improved road handling when cornering would be the advantage, in expense of ride comfort.

i wouldn't say na madaling masira, sa condition ng mga kalsada natin ngyn. siguro. pero depende pa rin sa driver yun.

may understeer and double wishbone suspension pero more stable compared with McPherson Struts suspension (front) lalo na sa cornering....yun lang po alam ko
