Multi-Link Rear Suspensions: Elasto-Kinematics
Elasto-kinematics relates to the suspension system design type. The term "elasto" implies stretching, which in fact the system does. Under extreme load (acceleration, turning, braking) the suspension changes its geometry to counteract inherent changes induced by the increased loads.
The system changes are pre-determined and built into the system. The geometry changes provided by this system correct for unwanted changes that occur under load in non-elastokinematic systems.
