A multi-link suspension is a type of car suspension design typically used in independent suspensions.
What is in a multi-link suspension?
This suspension uses jointed, hydraulic arms to connect the hub of the wheel to different sections of the chassis: typically, three or more lateral arms, and one or more longitudinal arms.
Why use a multi-link suspension?
Multi-link is the best independent suspension system. The arms distribute the stresses a wheel takes to all over the car’s body. This means that the wheel can bounce up and down, and the arms absorb the shock.
Why is multi-link suspension uncommon?
Multi-link suspensions are more complex and expensive to design and produce.
