Types

Depending on car layout, Lemförder suspension arms may have a different number of fixing points. There are:

• Two-point. They can be referred to as links.
• Three-point. They are also known as wishbones or A-arms.
• Four-point. They can be called H-arms.

By the mounting position with respect to driving direction the arms can be:

• Trailing (longitudinal). They are mostly used in the rear suspension. They serve for keeping the struts in one position during accelerating and braking. They take up braking, driving and transverse forces.
• Lateral. They are usually installed as lower arms in two- and multi-link suspensions. Apart from braking, driving and transverse forces they take up also the body weight providing its damping and cushioning.

By production material the components are divided into:

• Steel. They are cheap in production and servicing because their design allows separate replacement of ball joints and bushes. Lightweight components made of SMiCA sheet metal without any bolts and rivets belong here as well. These are 23% lighter than standard steel ones.
• Aluminium. They have a higher price and lower weight. They are replaced in assembly. In whole, they have a shorter service life.
