6. Wheel Suspension: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 530xi, 2007 BMW 525xi, 2006 BMW 530xi, and 2006 BMW 525xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Those parts which connect the wheel to the mostly load-bearing floor elements of the bodywork and guide it in the required direction belong to the wheel suspension. They are connected by axles or other comparable structures and guided by the arms. The wheel suspension plays a decisive role in the handling characteristics of a vehicle. Two main groups have to be distinguished: 1. Rigid axle suspension and 2. Independent wheel suspension.
