If you are considering a Nissan Pathfinder or any other car with an 'independent front suspension', this little commercial should prove to be helpful in understanding the concept before making your purchasing decision.

An 'independent front suspension' system, is when one front wheel of a vehicle hits a bump or pothole, it will move up or down to compensate while the other wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each other, hence the expression.

Watch the attached video all the way to the end. It is a German commercial for the Nissan Pathfinder. This gives a moving experience which should benefit your understanding of this piece of quality engineering. It's arguably the best explanation I've ever seen.

P.S. The Germans obviously have much better ads than we do. :hawt

Exactly! Not everyone knows what independent suspension is and this video does a top-notch job of explaining it with a live demonstration! =)
