Comparative Analysis of Different Vehicle Suspension Systems MacPherson Strut, Double Wishbone, Multi-Link, and Air Suspension Systems

This review paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of four distinct types of suspension systems: MacPherson strut, double wishbone, multi-link, and air suspension. Suspension systems are critical components in vehicles, directly affecting ride quality, handling, stability, and safety. By synthesizing existing research and experimental data, this paper evaluates the advantages, disadvantages, and application suitability of each system. The comparison is based on key parameters such as ride comfort, handling, durability, cost, complexity, energy efficiency, and performance in different driving conditions. The review aims to assist automotive engineers, researchers, and manufacturers in selecting the most appropriate suspension system for specific vehicle requirements. Keywords: Ride comfort, durability, driving conditions, efficiency, cost.
