Does this work on rubber tires?

2:37 That's a double wishbone!

Mac fur son strut

MCDONALDS RICERLET.

I have a video of a mc pherson completely ripping out

Upper and lower control arm, is that double wishbone setting?

MacPhersons strut easy DIY, easy maintenance & cheaper. Good for bad road.

for the driving pleasure and fun, I'll choose the double wishbone! :)

1989-2000 Civics are Double Wishbone 1987-2000 Corollas are Mcpherson

ERROR The images shown at the beginning of the section on MacPherson struts (2:17) and in the summary 4:26) are NOT a MachPherson strut It too is a double A-arm suspension, only it is showing the rear suspension (no steering linkage and orientation resembling semi trailing arm) instead of the front suspension. You'll note that unlike a MacPherson strut, the coil spring and shock absorber are NOT locating members, but is separated from the wheel hub/spindle

There are reasonable mcPherson versions: the one from E90 BMW with 2 lower arms and the one from Megane 2 RS with double axis.

My F250 has leafs front and back, with beefy sway bars, and it corners great. But bumps and washboard? Not so good.Get a good kidney belt.

mak FEAR son.

OMG, I could not listen to this! You are talking about automotive suspension designs, pros and cons, etc., but you are too ignorant to figure out how to pronounce "MacPherson" correctly?! Jesus, WTF? Is it that difficult to Google it? Thumbs down just for your stupidity!

Good job getting a coked-up Morgan Freeman to do the voiceover!

Good to know. What about Torsion beam / Twist beam suspension which are common for cheap, budget cars?

i like suspension

what kinda suspension system were used in 60s 70s or 80s American comfortable cars?

MacPherson strut cons: all of them Double wishbone cons: none.

In my own opinion, Double Wishbone is for added regidity than McPherson strut.

It all comes down to personal preferences.

For a slow and small city car Macpherson is enough. As reliability, stability and security requirements grow, Wishbone is preferred.

2:19 That one looks like Wishbone - not Macpherson.

I have two sports cars and they have the two different sytems. They both run perfectly.

I wish my Polo had a double wish bone system. The strut after a slow speed roll popped from the top and of course I'm lucky to be alive. Still miss my Polo, though.

If designing a car for yourself go for wishbones, if designing a car to mass produce go for McPherson struts on the front; McPherson struts also have a naturally high roll centre which is another reason manufacturers like them for the front, also they work well on 911’s and similar with a light front end.

Rarely does a manufacturer change something unless it is to increase profits.

McPherson struts, manual transmission, 50 years with no problems. Main determining factor in the amount of car "waddle" is the center of gravity. When I had to switch from a low center of gravity to a higher one as the car model design changed, I suddenly found my favorite twisty road to play on became a guessing game for when the balance shifted in a curve. The car lurched from side to side seemingly at random. Never found a way to balance that out. Another thing with the higher vehicle was what was in the trunk. Basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, anything with a slick bottom slid or rolled back and forth worse than a ship's utility boat in a light chop. Fortunately I don't get seasick, that would be just too much fun.

Don't know how much longer I can take the stupid AI voice butcher the word "McPherson".....

Double wishbone for me but not my wallet sigh

Wishbone suspension is stronger. Macpherson restrict the tyre size that can be fitted.

AI generated speaker.

"Mackferson" 🙄

Thanks

Interestingly, the Boxster has macpherson struts front and back.

It's pronounced "Mc-FEER-son." AI needs more work.

Strut design requires heavier metals on struts to hold the weight of the car. Steel and cast iron parts are used for them, adding weight. Double wishbone allows upper and lower arms to share weight, with suspension dampers handling only dynamic load. Each of the three can be made in lighter aluminum, reducing overall weight for practical applications

Twice gave picture of double wishbone suspension when talking about Macpherson

Honda, bring back the bones.

very robotic voice

I dumped a Toyota Tacoma because snow chains won’t fit on the front wheels. The Tacoma uses McPherson struts which have no business on trucks.

I could have stopped when I heard Mak Fur sons. Nice drawings though.

Your pronunciation is for shit. And your generalised answers a bit average. I think you dont really understand the subject matter.

It’s pronounced Mac-fear-sun, not Macfur-sun.

Double wishbone keeps tyre more perpendicular to the road - so better...

To be fair that pic of the Xt on a flatbed trailer wasn't smashed up in the front end - which would be more believable. The brake issue was a very small limited number. Now the steering assist error or rather the thermostat and sensor error is a big problem that will cost you 4hr shop labor and maybe a couple hundred in parts if you're not a handyman.. However, this is not limited just to the Cadillac but other GM cars. It is still a great vehicle as long as you don't abuse it.

At least 2 of the systems pictured are hybrid between Double wishbone and Mcpherson strut.

Certainly Doublewishbone'd Car from China. 😅

mac-FEAR-son strut

see you later. aligators
