ABSTRACT:
A double wishbone suspension system for a motor vehicle which achieves reduced roll center movement and wheel camber change relative to the vehicle body in jounce and rebound of the vehicle wheels throughout their suspension travel while requiring minimal packaging space. The system comprises upper and lower inwardly bifurcated control arms wherein each arm has an outer apex connected by a ball joint to a wheel carrier. The lower arm forked portions have the inner ends thereof pivotally connected to a lower pivot pin supported by a body bracket. The upper arm forked portions have the inner ends thereof pivotally connected to a floating upper pivot pin. A pair of first upstanding links each have their lower end pivotally connected at an intermediate point of an associated lower arm forked portion and an upper end pivotally connected to the upper floating pivot pin. A pair of second laterally projecting links each have an inboard end pivotally connected to the floating pivot pin and an outboard end pivotally connected to the bracket.
