Double Wishbone Suspension

It is used on sports cars, pickups and some premium cars. It controls camber well during suspension movement. It takes more space than a MacPherson strut. Because the upper arm is shorter than the lower one in most designs, the wheel gains negative camber as it moves up, which keeps the tyre flatter on the road in corners. The arms are usually mounted on the subframe with rubber bushings, and the upper ball joint is a common wear item on pickups and SUVs.

The two arms form a parallelogram-like linkage that guides the wheel.

Ball joints and bushings in both arms wear. Alignment is checked after work.
