This is only for people with a lot of technical skills and knowledge.
I'm sure you have all heard the term, "INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION,"but some of you may not know exactly what it means.
Basically......when one front wheel of a vehicle hits a bump or pothole, etc. It will move up or down to compensate while the other wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each other.
Watch the video below, a commercial about the Nissan Pathfinder not shown in the US, to find out exactly how this works.

I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature’s ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. – Fred Bear

Now it all makes perfect sense. lolDon't take life so seriously, after all it's not permanent.
