Talk:Hydropneumatic suspension
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hydropneumatic" is too broad a term for what this page describes. I was going to move it to "hydropneumatic suspension", but the Citroën uses hydropneumatics for brakes and clutch as well.
The main point, though, is that "hydropneumatic" is a very general term. Mackerm 13:15, May 26, 2004 (UTC)
Good point, it should probably be a disambiguation page at some point! --Pete Richardson 09:43, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "large loads make no real changes to the handling"
That would require, at least, central tire inflation, like a military Humvee, but load dependent. Some cars, like the Renault R4, have wheels that don't change angles with load, but the load on the tires affects car handling. That is the main reason the DS had wider tires in front than in the rear and Porsches have wider tires in the rear than in front. David R. Ingham 03:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Small car
- Shouldn't the first small car with hydropneumatic suspension be the Citroën M35? Hektor 20:34, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- The M35 was really just a prototype that a few customers actually tested (sort of like the 1964 Chrysler Turbine car) plus was the M35 really older than the 1970 GS?

[edit] Air ride suspension link invalid
I removed this link as it doesn't have any information about hydropneumatic suspension. Having produced a photobucket album containing jpeg images of a Citroen manual, a link was attached but removed. I will attempt to attach it again as I believe that much more can be learnt from this information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.43.226.11 (talk) 12:14, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
