Multi Link
01.03
| 00:00 | - Multi link suspension design covers a wide range of suspension systems, so we do need to be a little careful about how we define the term. |
| 00:07 | While a multi link suspension design could technically refer to the location of a live rear axle with a three link or four link trailing arm system, for our purposes we're going to consider live rear axles independently in an upcoming module. |
| 00:22 | Therefore, we're considering the term multi link to refer to a specific rear suspension design as used on many independent rear suspension systems. |
| 00:31 | This will normally consist of three or four arms that are used for lateral location and toe control, along with a trailing arm used for longitudinal location. |
| 00:40 | The advantages of a multi link suspension design are very similar to double wishbone in that it provides a lot of flexibility to the designers in terms of camber control and roll centre location. |
| 00:52 | The downside however is complexity and cost, along with a multitude of bushes that can wear, leading to unwanted compliance in the suspension. |
