Answer: B- Non-vertical external forces are supported by the suspension arms.

The main feature of Macpherson strut suspension is that non-vertical external forces are supported by the suspension arms.

Solution:

The MacPherson Strut is the most popular type of independent suspension system. A simple coil spring and damper/shock absorber combination make up the MacPherson Strut. The spring’s job is to hold onto the energy from a sudden jerk in the road. The damper releases this energy as heat by using hydraulic fluid. Together, they prevent the car from moving inadvertently due to road inclinations. The MacPherson strut combines strength, spring, and stability at a low manufacturing cost and is a remarkably effective design.

The MacPherson suspension’s struts do an excellent job of keeping the car flat on the ground. The main feature of MacPherson strut suspension is that the suspension arms support non-vertical external forces.​​
