"Independent suspension" refers to a system in vehicles that allows each wheel to move up and down independently. This means that when one wheel hits a bump or goes over an obstacle, it doesn't affect the other wheels. It provides a smoother and more comfortable ride for passengers and improves the vehicle's stability and handling.
