	Double wishbone - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		A double wishbone suspension is an automobile independent suspension design using two parallel wishbone-shaped arms to locate the wheel.
		The double wishbone suspension is also often referred to as double 'A' arm or short long arm (SLA) suspension.
		The advantage of a double wishbone suspension is that it is fairly easy to work out the effect of moving each joint, so you can tune the kinematics of the suspension easily and optimize wheel motion.

	Audi Worldwide > Glossary > Chassis & Body > McPherson suspension
		In this suspension layout, the wheel is located by a lateral control arm (usually a triangulated wishbone) below wheel centre by a suspension strut and an additional tie rod.
		Named after its inventor, the McPherson suspension has been continually developed over the decades since it first appeared and is now the standard layout for a large number of cars up to the midsize category.

	Double Wishbone vs. MacPherson Strut I:The Basics - Team Integra
		Nearly all cars in production today use either a MacPherson Strut type suspension or Double Wishbone type suspension for the front and rear of the car (the MacPherson Strut is known as a Chapman Strut when used on the rear of the car, but they are identical in every way but name).
		Before I move on to Double Wishbone suspensions, a quick side note about the way the MacPherson Strut allows the twisting that takes place when the steering wheel is turned.
		Double Wishbone suspension also use the "coil-over-oil" design, much like the MacPherson Strut, which often leads to people calling the shock absorbers on their cars "struts" even when their cars don't use a strut type suspension.

		The double wishbone suspension is also often referred to as double 'A' arm or short long arm (SLA) suspension.

	Double wishbone:
		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 advantage of a double wishbone suspension is that it is fairly easy to work out the effect of moving each joint, so you can tune the kinematics of the suspension easily and optimize wheel motion.
		Double wishbones are usually considered to have superior dynamic characteristics, load handling capability and are still found on higher performance vehicles.

	double wishbone vs. struts - Car Forums and Automotive Chat
		Double wishbone is a better design, but strut suspensions make it easier (and thus less expensive) to assemble the cars, which is why it shows up more often.
		In a double wishbone suspension, if you remove the shock absorber, the suspension will still be restricted to move as it would if the shock was in the car.
		there are different types of double wishbone suspension, just like there are different types of strut type suspensions, one example of a double wishbone suspension would be hondas 5 link rear suspension, known to be one of the most effective designs in the world.

	Macpherson Struts Vs Double Wishbone - Scion tC Forums
		In a double wishbone assembly, the wheel sits besides the suspension system and is guided by two "A" arms or wishbones.
		The spring and shock assembly is connected at the top to the frame of the vehicle and at the bottom to the lower wishbone.
		On a wishbone suspension the wheel assembly is independent of the shock assembly and so when the wheel assembly turns, the shock assembly is stationary.

		In mechanical engineering, a double wishbone suspension is also known as a short long arm, or SLA suspension, if it has unequal length arms.
		The suspension consists of a pair of upper and lower lateral arms, roughly horizontal, and of roughly similar length.

		"Double wishbone" refers to a suspension type where one wheel is supported by two arms that support it from above and below.
		Upon looking up an American dictionary, we find that, "A wishbone is a bird's ribcage." Folklore has two people pulling on each side of the rib, and whomever gets the longer half of the ribcage "bone" would get their "wish".
		With the current Formula 1, using a double wishbone setup for both the front and back is an obvious choice.

		The construction of the double wishbone MacPherson strut front axle enables the realisation of a small positive steering roll radius and also the easy installation of large brakes.
		The double wishbone solution uses an "ideal steering pivot", which runs practically through the centre of the wheel.
		The separate mounting of the wishbone and the traction strut on the axle stub results in the ideal wheel rotation axle changing whilst the steering wheel is being turned.

	macpherson, double wishbone?
		A double wishbone usually adds a touch more weight, but using exotic metals the weight can be shaved off.
		The wishbone suspension changes camber as it travels through its arc, which has benefits in modifying and partially correcting handling problems inherent in cars when they go around corners, such as body roll.
		Wishbone suspensions are generally more expensive than struts, but more sophisticated and have the potential to provide better handling.

		They do have some disadvantages off-road: they may not be as robust as a live axle, the lower wishbone hangs low and reduces ground clearance, and the differential (attached to the chassis) dips under braking which reduces ground clearance at a critical time.
		It is often mounted between a lower suspension wishbone and either the chassis or a chassis outrigger.
		It is often used in conjunction with wishbone suspension, attached to the A-frame at one end and to the chassis at the other.

		Knowing this, Honda engineers redesigned the Prelude's already capable 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system so that it offers even more responsive handling, even greater stability and improved ride quality over its predecessor (the Prelude already enjoyed a reputation as one of the best-handling cars in its class).
		On double wishbone suspension, Honda engineers can tailor the springs and damper assemblies for ride because the wishbone linkages provide the load path for suspension forces.
		Double wishbone suspension also offers several handling advantages as well.

		Please don't come away from this believing that MacPherson Struts are the worst things on the planet, they aren't, they just aren't as flexible as a Double Wishbone suspension is. Also, don't allow yourself to believe that just because you have a Double Wishbone suspension your car automatically handles better than cars with MacPherson Struts.
		When modifying, the Double Wishbone suspension's advantages can become it's disadvantages, because the complexity of the system makes it more difficult to predict what making one change will end up doing to your handling characteristics.
		But, on the other hand, if you know what you are doing, a Double Wishbone suspension can be more perfectly tuned to match the particular driver.
