Dependent, Independent, Semi-Independent Suspensions

Which type of suspension is illustrated?

• Semi-independent wheel suspension.

• Independent wheel suspension.

• Dependent wheel suspension.

All of these are characteristics of dependents suspension EXCEPT for:

• It requires a lot of installation space

• It is a complicated construction

• The car has a high center of gravity

What is true concerning dependent suspension?

• A movement of one wheel has no influence on the other wheel of the axle.

• A movement of one wheel is partly transferred to the other wheel on the axle.

• A movement of one wheel directly influences the other wheel on the axle.

What is a characteristic of the construction of dependent suspension?

• The wheels are connected by a torsion axle

• The wheels are not connected to each other

• The wheels are connected by a rigid axle

Which suspension is illustrated here?

Which is true for semi-independent suspension?

• A movement of one wheel is partly transferred to the other wheel on the axle.

• A movement of one wheel has no influence on the other wheel of the axle.

• A movement of one wheel directly influences the other wheel on the axle.

What is the characteristic of the construction of semi-independent suspension?
