 Double wishbone suspension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A double wishbone suspension is an automobile independent suspension design using two parallel wishbone-shaped arms to locate the wheel.
The suspension consists of a pair of upper and lower lateral arms, roughly horizontal and of similar length.
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.

An Independent Suspension is an automobile suspension system that allows the wheels on an axle to move independent of each other.
Early independent systems used swing axles, but modern systems have use Chapman or MacPherson struts, trailing arms, multiple links, or wishbones.
Another key difference which sets an independent layout from the conventional live axle, is that, for driven wheels, the differential unit does not form part of the unsprung elements of the suspension system.

These are connected midway along their length by a curved, H-section steel torsion beam that twists to allow a controlled level of independent suspension movement.
This arrangement works with very short springs and dampers which allow for a very low rear floor, while the suspension system still sits entirely below the floor.
Coil springs are used, and the system's telescopic shock absorbers are mounted at a separate location, which also contributes to the Insight's flat cargo floor.
