independent suspension
[ 123] independent suspension on each side of the wheel is individually connected to the frame by a resilient suspension (or body), relatively lighter. Through complex road wheel sides can bounce alone, can be reduced and vibration of the vehicle body is inclined, for better comfort. But comparing the non-independent suspension there are complex structures, high cost, maintenance inconvenience disadvantages.
non-independent suspension
Unlike independent suspension, both sides of the non-independent wheel suspension is mounted on an integral axle, the axle by the suspension connected with the frame. Non-independent suspension has a simple structure, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance, etc., but because of its comfort and steering stability are poor, rarely used on cars, now used for the trucks and buses.
semi-independent suspension
From a structural point of view that he belongs to the non-independent suspension, but with an independent suspension performance. The main advantages of the semi-independent suspension with a simple and practical structure, the smallest space, low manufacturing cost. And many shortcomings, such as bearing capacity difference, roll resistance is weak, poor damping performance, comfort limited. The most common semi-trailing arm suspension is an independent suspension.
