Wishbone arms

[mogwai]

I would like to know how the Wishbone arms help in resisting acceleration, braking & cornering forces? Also how the Upper arms being smaller than Lower arms helps in keeping the wheel track constant, avoiding the tyre scrub and reducing the tyre wear.
Any response is appreciated!

They're just like magnets. Make sure you have the polarity right, or they won't resist forces at all, they'll attract them.

Those sound like some homework questions right there!

Wheel needs to be located relative to chassis
Six links
Six degrees of freedom
Coincidence?

I cannot believe I'm giving away this much information.
