3 link has a pivot at the lower arms and uses the upper arm/wish-bone piece for locating as well as an upper pivot point

Truck arm are more similar to very long ladder bars. The axle is a fixed unit on the arms in reference to rotation. They may still use a panhard bar, but no upper locating pivot link.

So which one would be better? Or do they both have their ups and downs?
