Double Wishbone Suspension

An independent suspension that features two parallel wishbone-shaped arms. Each wishbone (or arm) has two mounting positions to the chassis and one joint at the knuckle. The spindle that the wheel and tyre mounts to is sandwiched between the arms. A wishbone suspension offers good axle control, and limits undesirable suspension. It is commonly used in sports cars, luxury cars and light trucks.
