Independent Suspension

["Paul Bayly" <thebaylys@domain.elided>]

From The Macquarie Dictionary Of Motoring:

"Independent Front Suspension/Independent Rear Suspension= SUSPENSION system
in which the front/rear wheels can rise independently of each other. The
forces applied to one wheel (when cornering, braking, or riding over road
bumps) are virtually isolated from the other wheel."

For me IS has nothing to do with transmision position or type.  After all
you can also have independent front suspension which, in a rear or mid
engine setup (he he), has zip to do with the tranny.

An Alfetta rear end will always transfer movement of one wheel to the other,
Alfa using this as an advantage in the sales brochures stating that the
setup "always keeps the driving wheels parallel".
