Car Suspension: Torsion Beam Rear Suspension | Trailing Arm Suspension Explained (2022)

Torsion Beam Rear Suspension Explained: What is a torsion beam suspension & trailing arm suspension? Torsion beam suspension pros and cons.
1) The basic design and working animation: torsion beam suspensions (also known as twist beam suspensions) bases on its design from a trailing arm suspension. Trailing arm suspension uses two trailing arms, which extend forward to a pivot on the car body. The upper part of the trailing arm supports the coil spring. Torsion beam suspension improves the design by joining the two trailing arms together by a cross member. The cross member itself acts as an anti-roll bar.
2) The advantage and disadvantage: compared to other types of suspensions, a torsion beam suspension is simple in design and is cheaper to make. The beam itself acts as an anti-roll bar that simplifies things at the rear. However, it doesn’t allow for much wheel adjustment by engineers. It also needs a lot of reinforcement to mitigate the fatigue at the welding points.
Torsion-beam suspensions typically can be found in smaller and cheaper cars as it is a good compromise between stability and cost. This suspension is widely used in a variety of compact front-wheel drive vehicles and is mostly prevalent in European superminis.

Thanks for your support. If the animation was helpful, remember to give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing 👏. Please feel free to share the video via the link ua-cam.com/video/Y89aLdZzwNo/v-deo.html

[@ramadhanisme7]

As usual very informative video

[@manojmanudoddamane4945]

Thanks allot very helpful

[@amandachen432]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. We will release more car parts videos in the near future. Stay tuned for more content :)

[@dinostalieris3998]

Perfect analysis, thank you! Just a question: if you add a spring spacer at the springs of a torsion beam (in order to raise the ride height at the back), you affect the spring preload?

[@simoma625]

Thanks for the great efforts to put the info here! Just one comment, the background music is too loud and annoying to be of any value added for the good content info , suggest removing the background music.

My ford ranger is damaging all 4 tyres from inside every 6 months I have to change them advice pls I do go for alignment nd tell them bt no change

[@stefanp.7986]

Why the back suspension can't be just a simple mcpherson arm type? Like in the front?

[@stevanjakovljevic8390]

Super , but animation doesnt show torsion beam , isted it show component of multi link suspension . Torsion beam like like letter H

[@sameerapprevieww]

Nice info... kindly reduce the music in next videos and please change the colour of the part when you talk about them

[@DashCamSerbia]

Aricultural susspension for vans. My shitbox car has it as well...

[@DavidTMSN]

Would it be possible to replace a rear torsion beam suspension with an independent rear suspension?

[@user-ko6le7fo6y]

yes

[@DavidTMSN]

@@user-ko6le7fo6y ballpark price for a diy?

[@AKK5I]

​@@DavidTMSN more than you can afford pal

[@DavidTMSN]

@@AKK5I Okay then.

[@SanjayPatil-ij1qn]

Torsion bar is also known as radius rod ??

[@mohammedasif1]

Is it same Coupled torsion beam axle suspension?

[@animatedengineering8571]

Coupled torsion beam axle type suspension includes trailing arms coupled to opposite ends of a torsion beam, which is similar as shown in this video😀

[@chigurupatijayachandrapras7691]

Back ground music is disturbing

[@sivakrishnat5471]

This type of suspension is common in crossovers like Hyundai Creta.

[@gthisgirliswild]

Found in most Kia cars

[@Kareena5510]

Can u please tell if air suspension is no 1
Than this suspension is no.?
And tell about other suspension please.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support😃. Each car suspension has its advantage and limitation. Please see our recent video on "How car suspension works" ua-cam.com/video/aNxSigpIhxA/v-deo.html
The video has introduced major car suspension components and most common types of car suspension including air suspension. Hope it helps😉

well done videos, but consider making the narrator's voice louder and annoying music lower, because its almost topping the narrator and is extremely annoying, making videos less pleasant to watch/listen to.
