double wishbone Explanation: I had to find the correct translation into Spanish some time ago and arrived at this conclusion after much Googling research. Suspensión por trapecio articulado: Consta de dos brazos triangulares o trapecios que se articulan por su base a la carrocería, y de la suspensión a los vertices de los brazos o trapecios y los dos vertices de los trapecios van unidos al pivote mediante rotulas. http://www.motorabc.com/Diccionario/LetraS.htm Double wishbone suspension is an automobile independent suspension design using two parallel wishbone-shaped arms to locate the wheel. Each wishbone (or arm) has two mounting positions to the chassis and one at the wheel hub. The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the wishbones to control vertical movement. Double-wishbone designs allow the engineer to carefully control the camber angle of the wheel, and are commonly used in sports cars. http://www.answers.com/topic/double-wishbone-suspension Reference: http://www.motorabc.com/Diccionario/LetraS.htm Reference: http://www.answers.com/topic/double-wishbone-suspension |
