Perhaps more importantly, independent front suspension allows for more precise, responsive steering. On high-speed washboard surfaces or desert conditions, independent suspension allows for greater control. That creates a wobbly ride, especially at speed, as the suspension can't keep up with cascading impacts.
Because both wheels are tied together, a bump on one side affects the other. A big one is wheel control, which suffers on a live-axle vehicle. But beyond the fact that the increased unsprung weight tends to make for an uncomfortable ride, there were other dynamic concerns.
Most IFS designs offer less suspension travel than a solid axle, making it harder to maintain traction on uneven surfaces and keep all four wheels on the groundĪccording to Gavin McGee, a vehicle dynamics engineer for the Bronco, Ford considered a solid front axle. And independent front suspension has some drawbacks for off-roaders. But the new Bronco isn't just about about the on-road experience.
