Car Suspension: Multi-link suspension explained | Multi-link vs Double wishbone suspension (2022)

Multi-link suspension explained | How multi-link suspension works | Car suspension animation
The contents include
1) Multi-link suspension design and layout, including five-link, four-link and three-link suspension;
2) Multi-link suspension functions in the three orthogonal planes, the top, front and side view.
Top view:
The arm needs to control toe / steer and lateral compliance.
Rear view:
The arm needs to control the camber, to control how the camber changes as the wheel rebounds or drops up and down.
Side view:
The arm must transmit traction and braking loads, as well as to control caster.
3) Solid axle multi-link suspension
A variation of the same concept is the solid axle multi-link system. The solid axle multi-link system offers similar benefits but has several advantages over independent multi-links suspensions. The solid axle multi-link suspension uses the lower and uppers arm to control back and forth movement and rotation. This rotation occurs during acceleration and braking.
4) Multi-link vs Double wishbone suspension
The multi-link suspension is orthogonal that It is possible to change one parameter at a time within the suspension without affecting the entire assembly. This is a significant difference from double wishbones. For a double wishbone suspension, moving a hardpoint or changing a bushing compliance affects more than one parameter. Multilink systems are expensive and complex to design and manufacture. In addition, it is difficult to tune the multi-link geometry without a complete 3D computer-aided design analysis.

baground sound is high

[@amandachen432]

Great video! Very helpful for my project multi link suspension, keep going, more videos!

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. We will release more car parts videos in the future. Stay tuned for more content😃

[@t8polestarcyan22]

I definitely prefer independent multi-link over any non-independent suspensions.

The best and the most vulnerable

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. That's true, multi-link suspension is particularly susceptible to damage from improper use and does have a high failure rate😄

[@hung5330]

Thanks 4 clearly clip

[@etobiCRACKscorpions]

Information is good but the music is far too loud and could be argued, unnecessary.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry for the inconvenience, We have lower the volume of background music in our later videos. 😀

What is the difference between a torsion beam and a solid axle multi-link?

Q: can you steer a car with front ML suspension?

[@animatedengineering8571]

Hi, multi-link can be used on both the front and the rear suspensions. When used in a front suspension, it will replace the lateral arm with a tie-rod that connects the rack or steering box to the wheel hub.
There isn't a single multi-link setup in industry, every car make or model may have their own design😃

[@thatcuteaxolotl4475]

@@animatedengineering8571 thank you very much!

[@VeganBytes]

I have multi link on my mx5 nd and I'm not a fan of it.
I find that the car feels very loose and not planted to the tarmac, especially under hard acceleration.
I'd much prefer a beefier setup.😊

[@DripGxd_Cam]

Have you tried coilovers?

[@VeganBytes]

@DripGxd_Cam
I have bilsteins with eibach springs, they've helped a bit, but I know a sway bar would make the most notable difference.
Coilovers are more about ride height first, then dialling in the damper settings. They're very expensive for my car, but I think the sway bar would be the better option first 👍
