kaksoisvektorijousitus

Kaksoisvektorijousitus, often referred to as double wishbone suspension in English, is a type of independent suspension system. It utilizes two wishbone-shaped arms, known as control arms, to locate the wheel. These arms are typically A-shaped and pivot at two points on the chassis and one point on the steering knuckle. The upper and lower control arms are arranged in a way that they effectively control the vertical movement of the wheel while also managing its angle relative to the road.

The primary advantage of a double wishbone suspension is its ability to precisely control camber and caster angles during suspension travel. This controlled geometry leads to improved tire contact with the road surface, resulting in enhanced handling, stability, and braking performance. It is a more complex and expensive design compared to simpler suspension types like MacPherson struts.

Due to its superior performance characteristics, double wishbone suspension is commonly found in high-performance vehicles, sports cars, and race cars. It is also employed in some heavy-duty trucks and off-road vehicles where durability and precise wheel control are critical. The design allows for significant tuning of suspension characteristics by adjusting the length and angle of the wishbone arms.
