I considered putting this in the technical section, because it is, however I thought it might get a larger audience here.
If you are considering a Nissan Pathfinder or any other car with an 'independent front suspension', this little commercial should prove to be helpful in making your purchasing decision. An 'independent front suspension' system, is when one front wheel of a vehicle hits a bump or pothole, it will move up or down to compensate while the other wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each other, and hence the expression.
Watch the attached video, a German commercial for the Nissan Pathfinder, to find out exactly how this works. This gives a moving experience which should benefit your understanding of this piece of engineering. It's arguably the best explanation I've ever seen. (The Germans obviously have better ads than we do)
