1) Front Suspension (Double Wishbone)

Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a 

vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems serve a dual 

purpose - contributing to the vehicle's road-holding/handling and braking for good active safety and 

driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road 

noise, bumps, and vibrations, etc. These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions 

involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact

with the road surface as much as possible, because all the forces acting on the vehicle do so through 

the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage 

from damage and wear.

2) Rear Suspension (Multi Link Type)

1. OVERVIEW

Double wishbone suspension is an independent 

suspension design using two (occasionally  

parallel) wishbone-shaped arms to locate the 

wheel. Each wishbone or arm has two mounting 

points to the chassis and one joint at the knuckle. 

The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the 

wishbones to control vertical movement. Double 

wishbone designs allow the engineer to carefully 

control the motion of the wheel throughout 

suspension travel, controlling such parameters as 

camber angle, caster angle, toe pattern, roll 

center height, scrub radius, scuff and more.

The multi-link type is used for the rear 

suspension to distribute the internal force (load) 

applied to the link while driving. Also, the change 

in camber or toe and shock load from the road 

has been minimized by optimizing the link 

arrangement.
