Candle suspension

The structural feature of the candle suspension is that the wheel moves up and down along the king pin axis that is rigidly fixed to the frame. The advantage of the candle suspension is that when the suspension is deformed, the positioning angle of the kingpin will not change, but only the wheelbase and the wheelbase will have a slight change, so it is particularly beneficial to the steering stability and driving stability of the automobile. However, the candle suspension has a major drawback: that is, the lateral force when the vehicle is traveling is entirely absorbed by the kingpin sleeved on the kingpin sleeve, so that the frictional resistance between the sleeve and the kingpin is increased, and the wear is also serious. The candle suspension is now not used much.
