What is the difference between double wishbone and multi-link suspension?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between double wishbone and multi-link suspension: 1. Different composition: The multi-link independent suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and damping springs. The double wishbone independent suspension is composed of upper and lower unequal-length V-shaped or A-shaped control arms and a pillar-type hydraulic shock absorber, with the upper control arm usually shorter than the lower one. 2. Different characteristics: The multi-link suspension not only ensures a certain level of comfort but also minimizes body tilt to the greatest extent possible. The double wishbone independent suspension is characterized by high lateral stiffness, excellent anti-roll performance, strong grip, and clear road feedback. 3. Different drawbacks: The disadvantages of the double wishbone independent suspension include high manufacturing costs and complex suspension positioning parameter settings. Additionally, the complexity of maintenance and servicing is high. The drawbacks of the multi-link independent suspension are its relatively complex structure, significantly higher material costs, R&D testing costs, and manufacturing costs compared to other types of suspensions, as well as its large space occupation.
