Kaksoisriippusilmäjousitus

Kaksoisriippusilmäjousitus, often referred to as double wishbone suspension, is a type of independent suspension system for automobiles. It features two wishbone-shaped arms, typically made of steel or aluminum, that connect the wheel hub to the vehicle's chassis. These arms are positioned in parallel planes, one above the other, and are hinged at their inner ends to the frame and at their outer ends to the steering knuckle or wheel carrier.

The primary advantage of the double wishbone suspension is its ability to control the wheel's camber angle throughout its travel. Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to the vertical axis when viewed from the front or rear. By carefully designing the geometry of the wishbones, engineers can ensure that the tire maintains optimal contact with the road surface during cornering and over uneven terrain. This leads to improved handling, stability, and tire wear.

This suspension design also allows for precise control over other suspension parameters, such as caster and roll center, which further contribute to predictable and responsive vehicle dynamics. The double wishbone system is known for its robustness and ability to handle significant lateral forces, making it a popular choice for performance cars, sports cars, and off-road vehicles. However, its complexity and the number of components can make it more expensive to manufacture and maintain compared to simpler suspension designs.
