1 Answers
Double wishbone suspension is a type of double A-arm suspension, featuring upper and lower wishbones that simultaneously absorb lateral forces, while the strut only bears the vehicle's weight. It is also known as double A-arm suspension or double swing-arm suspension. Automotive suspensions can be categorized into: 1. Double wishbone suspension; 2. MacPherson suspension; 3. Multi-link suspension; 4. Double A-arm suspension; 5. Double ball-joint suspension; 6. Torsion beam suspension; 7. Solid axle suspension. The functions of the suspension system include: 1. Transmitting forces and torque between the wheels and the frame; 2. Cushioning impacts and vibrations from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body; 3. Ensuring the wheels move within fixed angles to maintain steering stability; 4. Supporting the weight of the wheels; 5. Maintaining good contact between the wheels and the ground.
