Working of double wishbone independent suspension system

Double wishbone independent suspension

It is the improved form of the front independent suspension system. That provided with damper and coil spring to absorb vertical impact force. And upper and lower control arm to absorb and transfer braking and cornering forces. The above figure shows the component of the double-wishbone suspension system.

Working:

A double-wishbone suspension is an independent suspension design using two parallel wishbone-shaped arms to locate the wheel in automobiles. Each wishbone or arm has mounting points to the chassis and one joint at the knuckle. The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the wishbones' wishbones to control movement. the upper control arm is smaller compared to the lower control arm to introduce a camber angle in a suspension system. It should be noted that the wheel's direct mounting on the steering knuckle does not allow a wheel to drive to avoid this ball joint provided at the stub axle part. During the suspension, the loads are transferred to the lower control arm through the damper, spring, and steering knuckle. The bushing in line with the wheel can be kept relatively stiff to effectively handle cornering loads, while the off-line joint can be softer to allow the wheel to recess under fore-aft impact loads.
