MacPherson strut suspension - basic structure / 3D animation

The MacPherson suspension (or MacPherson strut suspension) is a type of independent car suspension that was developed by American engineer Earl MacPherson in the 1940s and has become popular in the automotive industry. It serves as the basic structure of suspension for many modern cars and offers a good balance between comfort and handling. A distinctive feature of this suspension is the strut, which serves as both a shock absorber and a control arm.

Hello everyone! This time a short video about the MacPherson suspension. Enjoy watching:)

😍♥️

[@speedy1737]

Plz make one about the other suspension set us and what would happen if you did a rear rear engine with this set up

[@alexsidoroff4084]

Небольшая неточность - эта фамилия пишется McPherson.

[@anesdj4282]

Excellent demonstration, thanks for sharing.

[@santoscarrillo2996]

Love it just found your channel learning about coil overs for my wrx daily 😊

[@user-wr3em2zn4b]

I have been waiting for an animated video channel on the operation of these cars. It is a wonderful channel.

Nice animation.

[@shiftfocus1]

When used at the rear, it’s properly called a Chapman strut, in honour of Colin Chapman.

[@eddiebrown59]

Designed by Earl Macpherson featured on Ford Consul and Zephyr mk1 1951. Widely used since........

I love your videos and I am subscribed. How about climate system or exhaust system for coming videos? :)

[@sachinthanadesilva5715]

Super

[@TheDidiButter]

The shock rotates together with the wheel during cornering?

[@uwimanziedith389]

l love this video

SHIT, THATS H0W YOU MAKE TGE SUSPENSION, THANKS FOR THE VIDOE BRO. ILL BE USING IN MY BUILDS.

Why is macpherson suspention still used?

[@mattmcbee7109]

It is cheap to manufacture and very compact, which is especially important for front-wheel drive vehicles. Cons: poor camber control during suspension articulation.

[@429thunderjet2]

Macpherson JUNK suspension. It's just good enough, that's all.

[@bw4316]

This is clearly for non-driven wheels. So (other than unsprung weight), why aren't the control arm pivots much closer to the center?

[@429thunderjet2]

Nope, it's for front wheel drives.

[@alinux09]

Nice job! Where is the upper control arm?

[@carinfo3d-En]

Thank you for appreciating my work!:) In the MacPherson suspension, there is no upper control arm (its function is taken over by the strut). The upper control arm is used, for example, in multi-link suspension and double wishbone suspension.

[@nekomimi793]

Upper and lower control arms are specific for double wishbone suspension

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

@@carinfo3d-EnI’d rather like to say that McPherson is based on the bike fork. RockShocks single side.

[@429thunderjet2]

Junk! Cheap n relatively easy to build, camber control is poor, just good enough that's all.

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

It is important that the lower A-arm extends outwards downwards. Then on compression the wheel moves outwards and the coil-over increases camber. For extreme compression, camber decreases again. Long short double wishbone increases camber until the tryre hits the wheel well@@429thunderjet2

[@tensevo]

i have never seen the design at 1:55

[@carinfo3d-En]

Such suspension is not found in new cars, but it can be found in outdated ones, for example in Audi 100 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3PJm4J-erGYbLc

[@samueladitya1729]

I don't get how it works. It seems like an impossible movement

[@pixelnazgul]

Not McPherson, just strut. One strut. Not made by mcpherson.

[@Ahmad-re1fr]

Coil spring & all wheel parts are mounted in thin tin body, this so risky, that's why people prefer, SUV or more solid structured truck's.

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

Airplanes have hard points. I thought that car manufacturers can weld sheets of different thickness?

[@commodorenut]

Many SUVs these days are unibody, just like cars. No “safer” and in fact, more likely to roll over during a swerve or accident due to the higher centre of gravity. Full frame pickups & the like may appear stronger, but the frame itself flexes too, many of them even worse than a unibody which spreads the load though the entire passenger cell. The passenger cell of a typical sedan is also stronger than an SUV due to the truss like construction incorporating the rear seat bulkhead and firewall structures for additional strength. By comparison, SUVs are an open wobbly box at the back. Look at late model sports cars and performance sedans - their unibody is extremely stiff, and will lift a wheel off the road on a tight uphill bend, where a full-frame pickup will flex and twist in the same circumstance. You only have to look at the gap between the cabin and bed, and where the rubber “gap filler” rubs due to frame flex. Even a 2007 Subaru liberty (legacy) I had back then would lift a wheel off backing from my steep road into my steep driveway. I could almost balance it on the 2 diagonally opposite wheels, and it would teeter and bump the other 2 on the road like a seesaw. Can’t do that in a floppy pickup or SUV……

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

@@commodorenut I want diagonal anti-roll bars.

[@commodorenut]

@@ArneChristianRosenfeldt Is that so you can tuck the inside rear wheel up under hard cornering? 😁😃 BMC (and Citroen) with fluid suspension systems connected the front and rear on the same side to reduce body roll, and it worked. Diagonally connecting them seems counter-intuitive? 🤷

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

@@commodorenut no I just want to allow the suspension to twist to keep all wheels on the ground to make life easier for the diff. Trike would be better than a car in this regard.

[@CarlosMartinez-pc7je]

Junk

[@bobadingo]

It is one of the worst suspension designs ever created right behind the leaf spring design from horse and carriage days.. .

[@petea7323]

As opposed to what?

[@jamesrindley6215]

Depends on your criteria for judging it. It's cheap, simple and low-maintenance. It might not be the highest performance setup but for most people that doesn't matter, they just need a vehicle that gets them around cheaply and reliably.

[@petea7323]

@@jamesrindley6215 that was where I was going with it. It’s easy to change a spring or strut. Some other suspension system repairs can be complicated or expensive. For normal road use, they can provide a comfortable ride and generally long lasting/durable.
