Why is the Stella double wishbone not for sale?
2 Answers
Stella double wishbone can be purchased. Introduction to double wishbone: Double wishbone suspension is a type of independent suspension, also known as double A-arm or double wishbone (double wishbone) suspension. In the West, during Christmas, people like to eat turkey, and when eating, they make a wish on a bone from the turkey. This bone, which resembles the letter A, is called the wishbone. The A-shaped wishbone on the double wishbone suspension is quite similar to this wishbone, hence the name double wishbone. Shape of double wishbone: The double wishbone suspension has two unequal-length upper and lower wishbones. The arms of the double wishbone can be made into an A-shape or V-shape. The upper and lower V-shaped arms are installed on the wheel at a certain distance, with the other end mounted on the vehicle frame. The lateral force is absorbed by both wishbones simultaneously, while the strut only bears the weight of the vehicle body, resulting in high lateral stiffness.
As a regular at the auto repair shop, I often hear fellow car enthusiasts complaining about the difficulty in finding Stella double wishbones. These parts probably refer to the double wishbone suspension components for older Peugeot or Citroën models, but those cars have been out of production for years, and newer models have switched to the lighter and more durable MacPherson strut suspension. Coupled with supply chain shortages, manufacturers prioritize mainstream parts, so niche components naturally become scarce. My advice is to first check the compatibility of your specific model at a 4S dealership or try searching for used parts on online auto parts platforms. Safety comes first—faulty suspension can easily lead to accidents, so timely repairs are crucial. Don’t cut corners by opting for cheap replacements; finding a reliable repair shop will save you a lot of hassle.
