A relatively new, suggested, version of the strut from Sweden, which is described quite clearly, even for those who are not suspension engineers...
See, in particular, parts 6.1 to 6.3 for the characterization of different flavors of the new strut.
As you can notice (in the last...
See your point on i-phone generation.
Been just wondering, why not use some sort of good old beam axle in the front instead of Mac struts to save a few more thousand dollars?
Your i-phone kid will be very happy with sub-5sec, or so, 0-60 mph acceleration, for even less money, shaming those very...
Well, at least Renault (with Ricardo) do not seem to violate some later patents, as can be seen in Ricardo's publication of 2004 about Renault Megane Sport (see the separate text box about the front suspension)...
"In addition to reducing torque steer, HiPerStrut also is designed to isolate unwanted feedback from bumps and rough surfaces in the roadway, as well as improve steering precision and cornering performance in wet and dry conditions, by keeping more of the tire patch on the roadway."
Also: "...
A new type of struts: Renault PerfoHub, Ford RevoKnuckle, or GM HiperStrut look as a promising innovation solving torque steer problems in FWD cars, as well as reducing bump steer with both FRD and RWD.
It works by adding an independent steering axis.
The only major disadvantage - a bit of extra...
