What is the Difference Between Double Wishbone and Multi-link Suspension?

[BeckettLynn]

The differences between double wishbone and multi-link suspension are as follows: 1. Different in nature: Multi-link suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and suspension springs. Double wishbone suspension has upper and lower wishbones, with both absorbing lateral forces, while the strut only bears the vehicle weight, resulting in high lateral stiffness. 2. Different characteristics: Multi-link suspension not only ensures a certain level of comfort but also, due to more links, keeps the wheels and ground in maximum vertical alignment, minimizing body tilt. Double wishbone suspension offers high lateral stiffness, excellent anti-roll performance, superior road grip, and clear road feedback. However, it has high manufacturing costs, complex suspension alignment parameter settings, high maintenance complexity, and difficulty in determining parameters for suspension alignment and four-wheel alignment.
