CHAPTER IV SUSPENSION DRIVE AND AXLE
SECTION I FRONT SUSPENSION
STRUCTURE FEATURE
Adopt McPherson independent suspension,accompanying with stabilizer bar, coil spring,
double acting telescopic shock absorber.
McPherson suspension structure: In McPherson suspension, the coil spring combines with
vibration damper, and the lower part of front strut tightly connects with the steering knuckle,
so that the strut and the steering knuckle shall rotate simultaneously when the wheels are
rotating. On the top, the rubber cushion directly connects with vehicle body. The rubber
cushion can insulate some noise, and can damp the vibration passed from the road.
Accordingly, the upper part of strut is fixed on the vehicle body, and moves slightly. However,
the lower part of strut shall rotate simultaneously with the wheels and bounces up and down,
thus the strut shall be influenced by the side force in the process of operation. The middle part
of strut connects with coil spring as well as damping block and bearing parts. This structure
features low cost, simple and compact structure, so that it can provide a large room to engine
deployment.
