Honda Suspension Types

[NuGeN]

Hi,

Could someone please give me a basic run down of which Honda's had double wishbone and which had mcpherson struts ?



Thanks.

I could be wrong but I think it goes like this:

EC/ED/EE/EF/EG/EK/EM Civic - double wishbone (front/rear)
FN2R Civic - macpherson strut (front), torsion beam (rear)
Jazz - macpherson strut (front), torsion beam (rear)
CA/CB/CD/CG/CM Accord - double wishbone (front/rear)
Prelude (4th/5th gen) - double wishbone (front/rear)
DC2 Integra - double wishbone (front/rear)
DC5 Integra - macpherson strut (front), double wishbone (rear)
AP1/2 S2000 - double wishbone (front/rear)
NSX - double wishbone (front/rear)

Exactly what I was after !

How about the EP3r and the FD2r?

EP3 - Employs toe-control link strut suspension in the front and reactive-link double-wishbone suspension in the rear

FD2R - Front Mcpherson, rear Double Wishbone

EK/EG/DC2/96-00 CR-V rear suspension is not double wish bone!

More like a hybrid weissach trailing arm with camber control arms.

Fore-aft loads are taken through the trailing arm.

The rear upper control arm isn't strong enough to do anything but control camber.
Also, the fore/aft roll center is constrained to be the pivot point of the trailing arm

The rear lower control arm, ... well you can sit on the fence with that one.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very much a fan of this layout, but it's definitely not like a S2000 or NSX.
S2000 can bolt roll center adjusters on the rear. EG/EK's can't.

The disadvantage of trailing arms is a slight roll steer effect, although Hondas like BMW's don't seem to suffer from it too much.
