I've heard that SusProg3D is a very good design-tool: http://www.bevenyoung.com.au/suswin.htm

it's not free though...

Race Tech magazine provides the Wishbone program for free. It's an old DOS program but works:

There are two versions. The one called Wishbone.exe is a self-installer, so is the one you'll want to use.

Just one quirk: Wishbone requires coordinates for steering pivots. If you don't have the data or are doing a rear suspension, you'll have to fudge some points for the steering tie rod to eliminate bump steer.

I have been using this one. It has a free 10day demo but is all the functions for double wishbone. also some other nice software on this site.
