Car Suspension: Macpherson Strut Suspension (2021)

MacPherson Strut Suspension Explained: What is a MacPherson Strut Suspension? With car suspension animation in the video, the contents include

1) Basic Macpherson strut design: a single control arm connected to the bottom of the wheel hub, as well as a shock spring combination protruding from the top;

2) Working animation: as a suspension dampener and as a steering rod;

3) Advantage: The simplicity is its main advantage, which combines strength, spring and stability at a low manufacturing cost. It's also great for front wheel drive since the space it allows for the driveshaft;

4) Disadvantage: a lengthy vertical assembly, would run into problems If you need to lower your vehicle, thus not suitable for a race car or sports car. It has small camber changes with body roll. Because the strut is moving linearly, the wheel gains camber to a certain extent and after that will start to lose camber.
