twist-beam rear suspension

It is also known as Twist-beam rear suspension.

A twist-beam rear suspension is such a system.

Under the skin is the same range of engines and steel MacPherson-strut front and twist-beam rear suspension.

Diesel criticisms notwithstanding, the A1 rides reasonably, although the twist-beam rear suspension does transmit wheel movements uncomfortably across the cabin.

On the road the Ypsilon rides well; again something of a surprise given its pedestrian MacPherson-strut front, twist-beam rear suspension.

The unexceptional running gear has MacPherson-strut front and a twist-beam rear suspension, but Citroën's engineers have put a lot of love into it.

The twist-beam rear suspension, also known as torsion-beam axle is a type of automobile suspension based on a large H or C shaped member.

Twist-beam rear suspensions were pioneered on the Volkswagen Golf in the early 1970s, and remain common on compact cars and minivans.

A similar suspension is the Twist-beam rear suspension, in which the beam axle also functions as an anti-roll bar to control the roll motion of the body.

The suspension system on all models uses a fully independent MacPherson strut front suspension, and a Twist-beam rear suspension.

Industry standard MacPherson strut-front/twist-beam rear suspension has been sharpened up with stiffer damping and a faster ratio for the electronically-assisted steering.

GM design has the firepower to match the Ford and the cabin is as classy, but it suffers a ride issue due to cost-cutting twist-beam rear suspension.

So that's a MacPherson strut front, twist-beam rear suspension together with Renault's ubiquitous 1.5-litre turbodiesel engine and six-speed transmission driving the front wheels.

The Uno had MacPherson strut independent front suspension and twist-beam rear suspension with telescopic dampers and coil springs.

A twist-beam rear suspension is very similar except that the arms are connected by a beam, used to locate the wheels and which twists and has an anti-roll effect.

This new global B-platform project was initiated by Ford in Dearborn, MI and is equipped with front MacPherson strut and twist-beam rear suspension.

The suspension setup was identical to the Golf and consisted of a MacPherson strut setup in front and a twist-beam rear suspension in the rear.

In general it is difficult to improve the kinematics of a suspension using the bushings, but one example where it does work is the toe control bush used in Twist-beam rear suspensions.

It featured firmly sprung and damped, independent Macpherson strut front suspension and semi-independent Twist-beam rear suspension, that gave crisp handling and good roadholding, without being too uncomfortable.

MacPherson strut front; twist-beam rear suspension remains as before, but the track has been widened and the damper and spring angles corrected to increase the wheel travel of this slightly compromised layout.

The platform was also revised, with a twist-beam rear suspension system replacing the previous 3-link beam axle, and the front suspension making use of cast, rather than pressed and fabricated, lower control arms.

The all-new platform has a tried and trusted MacPherson-strut front and twist-beam rear suspension, although it's been to Nissan's Cranfield charm school of ride and handling to better suit it to British roads.

In layout, it was essentially an economy car version of the 1930s designed Citroen Traction Avant Commerciale version, but with fully independent rear suspension (the Commerciale used a flexible beam axle, similar to 1970s VW twist-beam rear suspension).
