My ALFA 156 has DW - suspension on it and it lets you everything you want on the road.

This video is pretty much incorrect.. struts take up more space and higher up in the engine compartment. also, the amount of material needed to hold the strut secure adds weight, and takes space. struts make for heavy large 1 peice body (unibody) designs, where a arms use a (frame) where body panels are replaceable, and not part of the structure.

Thanks...👍

Lot of people complaining about the AI content of this video. That's not allowed as AI is infallible.

Double wishbones are costly for the consumer too. They need replacement every 4-5 years

What is a Macrson strut suspension?

Double Wishbone Handles Way Better than Macpherson struts My choice is Double Wishbone

20% factual BS and 100% annoying text-to-voice bot

The Toyota Camry and Avalon used the best of both worlds in their double-wishbone MacPherson strut front ends.In late 1984 (2nd year of the Camry) one of the line workers was doodling on a paper towel at the dinner table, and figured he could eliminate about 50 parts and 60-70 pounds from the Camry's front end and make it BETTER. They STOPPED THE LINE and re-tooled the worker's design and he got $400,000 for the improvement. In 1985, the Camry got a 2.5L 163 HP V-6, which the original front end could have never handled. I owned the original 1983 1/2 FIRST production Camry LE. Then I drove the V-6. Night and day difference in ride and HANDLING. I ended up buying a gall-bladder surgery instead of a new car. I drove the '83 1/2 Camry 14 years and 330,000 miles, and sold it to a co-worker (at the time) and she's STILL driving it with 2.2 MILLION miles on it-engine and transaxle haven't been touched. BTW, an '88 3L V-6 Camry has the mileage record. 6.3 MILLION miles. BP gives him Castrol Syntec and maybe free BP fuel. I've seen the BP commercial with the car in it.

One would assume that you would try to get the pronounced ration right of McPherson before putting it on TH-cam can we take anything seriously when you can’t even pronounce things right?

AI generated video it’s pure crap riddled with false claims and descriptions

At 0:53 he says " double wishbone suspensions allow the rear to toe in". Unless you have four-wheel steering, I don't you think you have a steering knuckle on your rear tires. Is this computer generated text and voice?

You didn't mention braking! This is where Macpherson struts fall over, forming the top suspension link they can have stiction introduced under heavy braking, affecting operation and movement. Double wishbone completely eliminates this.

Sometimes it’s just the boots.

terima kasih pencerahannya...menambah wawasan dan pengetahuan saya..👍🙏

I don't care how good the video is, if it's any kind of AI speech, I'm gone.

@3:58 he speaks about MacPherson but shows q Double WishBones front suspension architecture.

Double wishbone .

Struts are junk I hate even working on them !!

The McPherson suspension is pure genius for its low cost to car manufacturers, who are all in for greater profits, but it is a cheap and fragile set up, not suitable for most real road conditions.

Ai content the vid sucks and has stupid mistakes that are avoidable if you have eyes

Struts suck. No matter how you tune them, by nature they give you bump steer

Very informative but why are you shouting!

McPherson is the cheapest independent suspension system - that why it's used almost everywhere. 😅😅😅

😂 i can name one best handling sportscar out right now is on MacPherson.

it is incorrect to say that mcpherson produces more body roll since the wheels are interconnected. McPherson is a completely independent design. What really happens is that it has an arc shaped travel, changing camber depending on its position, but that only affects the contact patch and the wheel incidence on the ground, not the roll of the vehicle

My Alfa 156 has double wishbone and she handles great, one big advantage of double wishbone is that the wheel is always perpendicular to the road surface, thus maximising the contact patch, whereas the McPherson moves in an arc, the inside wheel in a curve has minimum contact.

Informative. Thanks. ❤

The weight isn’t really true. McPherson systems are inferior because the forces aren’t all aligned with the arms, so they introduce bending moments in the system. That requires having beefier parts in order to achieve the same rigidity as a double wishbone, so that means more mass. So this pretty much equals the extra components in the DW system

😊🙏 Always wanted to know this ... Thank You So Much OBD Insight for this well presented tutorial on the difference , con & pro of Double-Wishbone or Macpherson Suspensions ... 🙏🌷🌿🌏✌💜🕊

the wheels are not interconnected with Macpherson, they are independant!

The addition of additional components

Nice

I prefer double wishbone in all kind of cars the problem is only that most of my cars does have McPherson and are difficult to rebuild.

I would claim that 4 times out of 5 MacPherson is heavier than a proper dwb - or even 9/10. One of the worst features of MacPherson is that when lowering a car the roll centers fall 2.5 to 3 times as much as the lowering of the car and then you need a stiffer AR-bar which is ok for a track car but road tuned cars do not like excessive warp-stiffness. Also MacPherson tends to loose camber gain quickly when dropped. Further more MacPherson has a lot more friction as the dbw. And yet, most cars with MacPherson handle still well. Also I think the big noise about Porsche GT3 having a dbw and being like "night and day" compared to the older MacP is pure marketing bs. When something is so good to begin with there is no way to make it "night and day" better. It certainly is a little bit better.

I have solid axles in my jeep jk and no steering or racing :)

My MR2 has McPherson suspension. Usually ok, but many vehicles were lost by snap oversteer, when the contact to the road suddenly gets lost.

Jag XE has front double wishbone Porsche doesn’t😂

One other thing that is not discussed is the need to reduce the scrub radius for Front Wheel Drive use. This is more easily achieved if the upper wishbone outer ball joint is located above the wheel. Cannot do that with Macpherson.

Error: at 2:40 You show a double wishbone suspension which happens to use a Macpherson strut for the spring element, a blend of the two systems. But you call it a Macpherson.

mackfersen SKOL !

Narration not matching illustration and wrong pronunciations - rest of the video probably shit too. Why do it if not done right?

Horrible AI narration. Turned it off after 7 seconds.

This ai generated bullshit is ridiculous...🤦

Multi-link is better than all for street use. Double wishbone for racing

If it's not Scottish it's crap!

How tf are the wheels of an axle with mcpherson suspension interconnected?

Some of his strut pics are actually pics of double wishbone suspensions, just with a strut like shock spring tower

There are virtually no cons of double wishbone for the user. Weight, "repair difficulty" and expense is essentially not even worth mentioning. MacPherson benefits the manufacturer only, for the most part.

Porsche has been sticking to multiple link McPherson on the front for decades as well as bmw and mercedes, for a good reason. The standard McPherson is what you said but the ML version of it is the way to go. Body roll can be fixed by well engineered sway bars. Have you tried the E60 with the hydraulic sway bar?
