oh... soli... correction..

vios, myvi those are using multi-link beam axle suspension for rear setup.... front i guess should be macpherson struts as well (couldnt confirm)....

nowadays mosts cars are having either macpherson struts or double wishbone suspension for the front....

macpherson strut diagram.... found in most compact FF cars....

double wishbone suspension... found is more expensive / sports car...

this kind of arm is semi independent, each side suspension can move independently but the camber remain fixed under movement..this old tech seldom used anymore..a bit similar to the trailing arm in kancil

the one in vius is torsion beam which mean either side movement will affect the other, added the absorber and spring made from jelly, one side camber added will reduce from the other side.. doh.gif
