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.
