A comparison between the suspension systems used in front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles, highlighting major components: 🔧 Front-Wheel Drive Suspension Control Arm: Connects the wheel hub to the vehicle frame; allows vertical movement. Stabilizer Bar (Anti-roll bar): Reduces body roll during cornering. Helicoidal Spring: Absorbs shocks from the road. Dampening Set (Shock Absorber): Controls spring movement, reducing bounce. Note: In FWD cars, the suspension must also accommodate steering and power delivery to the front wheels, making it more compact and complex. 🔧 Rear-Wheel Drive Suspension Control Arm: Provides wheel alignment and support. Stabilizer Bar: Prevents excessive body roll. Helicoidal Spring: Supports vehicle weight and absorbs shocks. Dampening Set: Same function as in FWD. Driveshaft: Transfers power from the engine (at the front) to the rear wheels. Note: RWD setups generally allow for better weight distribution and are simpler at the front since the wheels only steer, not drive. 🚗 Key Difference FWD: More compact, front handles both steering and power. RWD: Power sent to the rear, front handles only steering — often gives better balance and handling in performance vehicles. #mechanic #automotive #machinelearning #mechaniclife #automobile
