Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Types of Suspension Systems

‌‌wishbone suspension‌： Includes double wishbone and single wishbone suspension. The double-wishbone suspension can keep the kingpin inclination unchanged, but the wheelbase changes greatly. ； The single-wishbone suspension has a simple structure, but it is not suitable for high-speed driving.

‌‌multi-link suspension‌： Depend on3-5A combination of rods can control wheel position changes, but there will be shaft swinging at high speeds.

‌‌Trailing arm suspension‌： It is divided into single longitudinal arm type and double longitudinal arm type. The double trailing arm type can keep the kingpin caster angle unchanged and is suitable for steering wheels. ； The single trailing arm type is not suitable for steering wheels.

‌‌candle suspension‌： The wheels move up and down along the kingpin axis, and the kingpin positioning angle remains unchanged, which is beneficial to the car's stable steering control and driving stability.
