Suspension (vehicle)
This has been reverted before I got to it, but this is why additions like this need to be supported by good sources.

Wishbone suspension doesn't have control arms, it has wishbones - there's a difference.

Different lengths of wishbone (or control arm) are there for a reason. It's not an easy to explain, probably impossible without drawings, but it's about the changes of geometry and wheel camber angle to the road with suspension movement. It's certainly not because one is bigger because it has more load on it. Nor is it always the case that the lower arm will have the most load on it - in practical cases, it's more often the upper arm, especially with worn suspension. Some old wishbone designs with a central coil spring (and by design, much of the load on the lower wishbone) could develop really nasty bump steer behaviour, because a sudden road force on the wheel could cause a worn ball joint to move between a position on one side of its play to the other, with a very obvious "clunk".

Good luck with future contributions, but it is important to get stuff right. We already have most topics covered "approximately", nowadays we have to focus on getting their quality and accuracy up. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
