What's wrong with my hinges?

1,150 substygram  6.0 years ago

I tried to make a double wishbone suspension, but the hinges seems to be stuck. I tried replacing them, removing the shock absorber, but still no effect. If anyone can fix this, please tell me the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: thanks to @SlideWhistle for fixing the issue https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9V6rdN/The-Hinges-Are-Fixed?showAllComments=true#comment-2203710

    There is no hinges on where the wheel meets the suspension

    @plane918273645 thanks! I'll try that. But if the arm itself isn't moving, how would it be useful at all?

    here on the image you can see the green dots, these are hinges and you need these as well as on the inner side like you have

    @bjac0 and I just tried removing half of the hinges, even removed the suspension and left just one hinge. Still rigid though. How come?
    Sorry if I'm bothering you

    @bjac0 thank you so much for letting me know. So what do I do with the top wishbone? Do I replace it with a floppy small rotator?

    The reason why they aren't turning is cause you have two points of rotation for the same part, which ends up with it being rigid, the top hinges can't turn cause the bottom hinges act like a support structure
