Double wishbone vs multi link
 

So the front suspension is strut type , But different media outlets have the rear suspension setup as a double wishbone, some say it is a multi link.
I realize that double wishbone can be seen as a type of multi link, but want to know if anybody here knows exactly the type of rear suspension these cars have? Like number of lateral/long arms and configuration?

welcome to the wonderful world of GOOGLE!


go nuts!

There's an upper A-arm, lower lateral link, lower trailing link, lower toe link. The lower lateral link and lower trailing link would comprise the "lower A-arm (wishbone)" if you want to think of it that way, but it's a little different than a true double-wishbone.

Subaru refers to it as a rear multi-link - as the above poster states, there's no true lower A-arm.
