Wishbone is the common name but, to be pedantic, as the Scorpio front suspension is of The MacPherson strut variety the correct term is really lower link or radius arm.
Real wishbone suspension setups have a lower and upper wishbone like the Mk3 Cortina.
My Crown Vic has it too, what's more, the Castor and the Camber are completely adjustable via two adjusting bolts.
I adjusted an annoying pull to the left and increased the castor angle for better steering wheel self-centering in a few minutes
