MacPherson originally created the design for use at all four wheels (Mitsubishi Starion, for example), but production applications used it only for the front suspension, where it provides a steering pivot (kingpin) as well as a suspension mounting for the wheel. In 1957 Colin Chapman of Lotus applied the design to the rear suspension of the Lotus Elite. As a result, strut suspension at the rear of an automobile are now commonly called Chapman struts.
