Car Suspension: Double Wishbone Suspension explained (2021)

Video Description

Double Wishbone Suspension Explained: What is a double wishbone suspension? With car suspension animation in the video, the contents include 1) The basic design: double wishbone suspension is an independent suspension system. It includes two wishbone-shaped arms (also called double A-arms) that are located between the steering knuckle and the chassis. The upper and lower control arms have ball joints at both ends to enable movement in all directions. Vertical motion is controlled via the coil spring and shock absorber mounted on the wishbones. 2) The advantage: the double wishbone suspension provides the driver with a smooth driving experience. As a more complex design, the double wishbone allows for better control over camber and body roll. 3) Camber: this part introduces concept of positive and negative camber; equal and unequal-length control arms double wishbone suspension. 4) The disadvantage: a double wishbone suspension is more complex, and therefore it is more expensive to design, manufacture and maintain than other suspensions, such as the MacPherson strut suspension. In addition, due to the large number of parts, a double wishbone suspension system is heavier and requires more space (horizontally) than other suspension systems. The double wishbone suspension can be used on the front and rear wheels, it is independent and above all it has almost perfect camber control. Nowadays the double wishbone suspension has been the first choice for many racing and sports cars. 00:00 Double wishbone suspension 00:05 Basic design 00:58 The advantage 01:13 Camber 01:52 Equal length control arm 02:52 Unequal length control arm 03:48 The disadvantage 04:13 Summary Keywords: Car Suspension Explained | Double Wishbone Suspension Explained | Car Camber Explained | Car Suspension Animation Acknowledgement: Suspension model derived from michauart from CGTrader https://www.cgtrader.com/michauart ericblender7 from Blend Swap https://www.blendswap.com/profile/233641 Music by John Yasut from Pixabay.com https://pixabay.com/users/john_sib-15655402/ 🎬 Animated Engineering Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVn06OnDVhy_nwHyIhrlmw?sub_confirmation=1 💙 Our website: https://www.animated.engineering
