TYPE OF ADVANTA SUSPENSI GES ON

More simplicity, takes up less space, reduces overall weight of the vehicle, and makes ride more comfortable. In design point of view the vibration can be blocked without being transmitted to the vehicle roll cage and low cost increase of negative chamber as a result of the vertical suspension movement of the upper and lower arms, tire contact and handling increases, distribute stress at 5 different points unlike other type which only at 1 point It has large arms than any other suspension type. No complicated design is involved

Macpherson struts have problems working with wider wheels that have increased scrub radius. Change in camber will make the tire contact less with the road; due to this handling abilities are reduced. But compared to all other type its cost efficient. Compared to other types its more rigid and stable. No change in steering and wheel alignment even under heavy stress. Compared to others its more complicated and expensive but interesting feature is its camber and caster can be tuned. In this roll centre height and swing arm length can be determined Lateral movement and camber change of the arm is not allowed. Compared to other type when the car rolls into a corner, the trailing arm rolls for the same degree as the car body, thus changes camber angle. It has more possibility for under steer Compared to other type camber angle changes when the wheel moves up and down as in case of double wishbone. Trailing or the semi trailing in both the case the vibrations are transmitted to the vehicle Compare with Macpherson strut, its shock absorber is shorter and can be

Macpherson strut

Double wishbone or A arm

Trailing arm

Semi Trailing arm

Since its a combination of both trailing and swing axle type the under steer can be neutralised

According to comfort view it offers a greater seat space. Its more cheaper than any
