The MacPherson Strut is a type of suspension system commonly used in vehicles. It combines a shock absorber and a coil spring into a single unit, allowing for a compact design that saves space and weight. This system helps to support the vehicle's weight while providing stability and comfort during driving. One of the key advantages of the MacPherson Strut is its simplicity, which makes it easier and cheaper to manufacture and maintain. It is widely used in front-wheel-drive cars and has become a standard in the automotive industry due to its effectiveness in handling and ride quality.
