Hydraulic suspension: what are its differences and peculiarities?
Table of contents:
The First car that was equipped with hydraulic suspension, was 
The French “Citroen DS”. Since the debut of noorestani chassis (1954) took a long time. Mankind during this period had to develop three generations of this suspension. But now smaller producers man your car is a running system, giving preference to “repair”. However, the U.S. still hydraulic suspension very much appreciated. But beyond that she is so loved drivers?
Design Features
For starters, let's examine its design. The main feature here are the absorbers. Hydraulic suspension is completed with particular details of conical shape. From the normal shock absorbers they differ in that they are filled with special oil. Also each part has a spherical accumulators.
Advantages and disadvantages
So, let's begin with the positive points. Hydraulic suspension initially stood out for its durability. And if the pneumatic system can serve a maximum of 150 thousand kilometers, the hydraulics - as much as 400 km away. So many 
Car owners called her “unbreakable”. And given the quality of the road surface in Russia, hydraulic suspension becomes mandatory. In addition, it provides the best ride in all conditions. Hydraulic suspension for VAZ softer behaves on the bumps, rather than pneumatic. In addition, you can adjust the ground clearance of the car, not leaving the salon. Moreover, to change the ride height at any speed and even cornering. But this is possible only with the third generation of the Hydractive system.
