Impact of Suspension Hardpoint Accuracy on Suspension Performance
Key Takeaways • Small hardpoint errors can have a disproportionately large effect: a 10 mm shift in the outer tie-rod joint changed bump steer by 11.1 deg/m. • A 10 mm error in the ...
Suspension Modifications: Performance Impact of Lowered Ride Height and Wheel Spacers
Background This case study looks at how lowering the ride height of a car and increasing its track width impacts suspension performance. Suspension performance analysis (also known as suspension kinematics and compliance or K&C ...
How to Measure Suspension Hardpoints on a Vehicle
1. Introduction Suspension hardpoints (HPs), also referred to as nodes, are the 3D coordinates of all the key attachment and reference points that define a vehicle’s suspension geometry. Most of these are the “pick-up ...
