Lambo Countach has 2 shocks per side on the front?

Two shocks? Why? I mean what benefits do you get with two shocks on either wheel at the front?
Just trying to understand suspension a little better...

so far I've come across some weird suspension concepts,
rear bevel axle... I bet you aint heard of that one before...

[plotloss]

Bevelled axles are presumably to spread load in a different plane like ovalised bike tubing surely?

As for the Lambo, its a 25 year old car, doubt shock technology was as far advanced as it is now...

yikes, the techie has posted!

I was looking at the double-wishbone structure, and I was thinking, surely this would mean a car handles better on the roads... but how come standard cerbs/tuscans have so many handling problems?

Doesnt the Miata have double-wishbone allround with coil-over dampers, and she handles like a dream....

But how the hell does the T350 handle so well? She's not that much lighter than a Tuscan, and its only a shortened Tuscan chassis right?

(throwing my arms over my head, with a major puzzled look!)

So do TVR Tuscans and Vixens (pre 72)
