Most modern cars use an independent suspension system on the front wheels. This setup allows each of the wheels on an axle to move independently in response to road level variations. Independent suspension offers much better handling and stability when compared to a rigid axle suspension at the cost of being structurally weaker and more costly to maintain.
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 an independent front suspension |
|
your car has a rigid axle front suspension |
|
your car has a rigid axle rear suspension |
|
your car has an independent rear suspension |
