Advantages
The designed wishbone is safe when induced or maximum
It gives good ride quality. stress is lesser than the allowable stress
It provides large distance for resisting rolling action. The front suspension systems geometry were designed by
considering system separately, however, it is important to
It provides smooth and comfort ride. make sure that the front and rear suspension
characteristics are consistent with each other in order to
Rear wheels remain stable. optimize the full vehicle suspension performance. The
following parameters are considered for the front

Disadvantages
Expensive
Increased cost
Complicated design
