I'm sure you have heard the term, "INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION,"
but may not know exactly what it means. When one front wheel of a vehicle hits a bump or pothole, it will move up or down to compensate while the other wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each
other, hence that expression.

Watch the attached video (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v490/astine/?action=view&current=nissan_pathfinder.flv), a German commercial for the Nissan Pathfinder, to find out exactly how this works.This gives a moving experience which should benefit your understanding of this piece of Engineering. Best explanation I've ever seen. Those German ads are better then ours.

I think that's IBS (Independent Breast Suspension).










Not to be confused with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, of course.

It's a Nissan thing. The Germans brought you the JK. We like to keep our curves firmly buckled in! :D
