In 1987, the Honda Civic
was significantly redesigned for model year 1988. The suspension had a
radical re-configuration with what Honda called "double-wishbone
suspension" on all four corners, wheelbase was increased to 98.4 inches
(250 cm), and the body was redesigned with a lower hood line and more
glass, giving less drag. Rear suspension however is more accurately
described as multi-link
trailing arm suspension since the upper control arm only has a single
anchor and there is toe control used on the main trailing arm.
