Suspension Construction

How car suspension works

There are different ways of attaching the wheels of the car so that they can move up and down on their springs and dampers. The design of front suspension and design rear suspension have some differences to the ability of opposite wheels to move independently of each other.

For front-wheel drive cars, rear suspension has few constraints and a variety of beam axles and independent suspensions are used.

For rear-wheel drive cars, rear suspension has many constraints and the development of the superior but more expensive independent suspension layout has been difficult.
