Having talked about independent suspension and non-independent suspension before, today it is finally the most controversial semi-independent suspension, the torsion beam. It was also the first word of war of words we talked about in the suspension section, Mazda and Citroen, which they were good at.
As the name suggests, the torsional beam is a whole, through the toughness of the steel beam itself, to counteract the force generated when the vehicle moves. The connection of the torsion beam is also very simple, there is no connecting rod, swing arm, is a simple and rough "hard connection". Coupled with springs and shock absorbers, the role of compression and shock absorption is finished. Why hasn't such a "simple and rough" design in the face of multi-link suspension been eliminated? Is it just because it's cheap? The video gives you the answer.
