Despite the drawbacks, the MacPherson strut set-up is still used on some high performance cars, because they tend to have relatively small suspension travel, and so do not have the same kinematic problems. Up until the 1989 model year (964), Porsche 911 used a similar strut design that did not have coil springs, using torsion bar suspension ...
Suspension was independent front and rear. The front suspension comprised Macpherson struts with concentric coil springs and lower lateral links triangulated by an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension used semi-trailing arms with coil springs ahead of the axle half-shafts, and shock absorbers behind. An anti-roll bar was also fitted at the rear.
The Cutlass Ciera and its A-Body platform twins, featured MacPherson strut front suspension, body-color urethane bumpers, flush-mounted glass, front-wheel drive, and on many models, fuel injection. The Cutlass Ciera shared the Cutlass nameplate with the smaller Cutlass Calais and the upscale Cutlass Supreme.
The Carina ED came with MacPherson struts with an anti-sway bar and strut tower brace, while the rear employs MacPherson struts with a trailing link and twin lateral links per side, plus an anti-sway bar. The initial lineup offered two 1.8-liter engines, one twin-cam 16-valve 2.0, and five trim packages.
Released in September 1989, it was the luxury hardtop version of the Corona and was introduced to emulate the twin Carina ED. The letters EXiV are derived from the words EXtra impressiVe. [1] The Corona EXiV was only sold in Japan and was exclusive to Toyota Japan dealerships called Toyopet Store locations and sold next to the Corona.
This is a MacPherson strut type suspension that has been improved to compete with double wishbone type suspensions. It suppressed the change in camber angle that occurs when the suspension is in motion, and as a result it greatly increases handling stability and grip limit while turning.
Independent, lower lateral link with reaction strut, MacPherson struts with concentric coil springs Rear suspension: Independent, lower A-arm, MacPherson struts with concentric coil springs Brakes: Four-wheel disc brakes with floating calipers and 227 mm (8.9 in) diameter rotors. 48 mm (1.9 in) diameter front pistons, 34 mm (1.3 in) diameter rear.
Toyota Active Control Suspension was (according to Toyota) the world's first fully active suspension. [1]Two versions of Toyota's Active Control Suspension system went into production - the first was a very limited production run from 1990 to 1991 of 300 units of the ST183 Celica, called the Active Sports.
