Too Afraid to Ask

With independent front suspension, each wheel can go up and down on its own. This makes the car feel smoother and more stable when turning.

Technical Definition

An independent front suspension allows each wheel on the front axle to move independently, improving handling and ride comfort compared to a solid axle.
