RECENT SUSPENSION TECHNIQUES OF JAPANESE PASSENGER VEHICLES

Suspensions of Japanese passenger vehicles lately are being improved as a result of the rapid increase of FWD vehicles and competition among manufacturers striving to out-perform each other in the world market. The characteristics required of the suspension have many contradictory aspects such as handling and stability, riding comfort, noise and vibration. The suspension mechanism has been improved to fulfill all of these requirements simultaneously. Recently, vehicles with variable components of the suspension mechanism are increasing. The authors herein describe current suspension techniques of Japanese passenger vehicles.
