Common Suspensions
Beam
Solid I-Beam
Non-independent
design
Similar to front solid
I-beam axle
Large load carrying
capacity
Rear Coil Springs
Non-independent
design
Uses coils and
control arms instead
of leaf springs
Good load carrying
capacity
Trailing Arm
Independent Design
Uses individual
lower control arms
Uses coil springs
and shocks
Good ride quality
Rear Beam
Non-independent
design
Stamped beam
axles
Uses coil springs
and trailing arms
Light and simple
design
Active Suspension Systems
Electromagnetic
motors at each wheel
instead of traditional
shocks and struts.
Sensors at various
locations to detect
body and suspension
movement.
