Independent Front Suspension

[Patriciabin]

Independent suspension is any automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically independently of the others.On an independent front suspension, each wheel space bar clicker on the same axle moves independently when hitting a bump or going over an obstacle. Found in most modern vehicles, independent front suspension offers a comfortable ride and precise handling on and off the trail. The intricate design translates to higher manufacturing and maintenance costs. Off-Road Limitations: Independent suspension can be less robust for extreme off-roading due to its complex linkages. A solid live axle connects both wheels on the same side of the car.Additionally, IFS suspension setups generally have less unsprung weight than solid axles. This isn't always a good thing for off-roading as high unsprung weight could potentially help with traction. In scenarios where IFS already excels, however, lower unsprung weight is very useful.
