water pump |
|
water jacket |

The right front wheel of your front-wheel drive car drops into a pothole and the left front wheel doesn't lose contact with the road. Which of the following is true?
your car has a rigid axle front suspension |
|
your car has an independent front suspension |
|
your car has an independent rear suspension |
|
your car has a rigid axle rear suspension |
An independent suspension allows the wheels on either side of an axle to move independently from each other. The fact that the left front wheel didn't move up in response to the right front wheel moving down is evidence of this.
