1. Yes. Theoretically, it is possible to completely prevent rear springs from extension during braking i.e, 100% anti dive is possible during braking.      For this to happen, the Side View Swing Arm must lie on the line passing through CG. 2.The maximum anti-squat the rear suspension of front wheel drive…

1.Camber gain is necessary for two reasons: Camber gain is necessary to ensure that the wheels remain perpendicular to the ground during cornering in order to maximize contact area and the grip. By designing suspension to gain negative Camber in jounce, we can counteract the postive camber due to body roll during cornering.…

Suspension geometry with shorter swing arm would show higher variation of front and side view parameters. This is mainly because as the wheels starts heaving up and down during jounce and rebound of suspension, the swing arm traverse a circular path. So longer the Front View Swing Arm(FVSA), smaller will be the arc traversed…

1.Double wishbone front suspension assembly:

1. If there were no bushings at all in the suspension or if all the components were hard mounted, there would still be compliance in the system. This compliance is obtained through spherical joints. 2. In front mounted rack setup, if suspension links are more compliant than the steering system, it results in understeer…

1. Negative caster is undesieable because it tends to aid the turning moment.This results in oversteer condition and destabilizes the vehicle. 2. Even though certain amount of positive caster increases the steering effort and provides directional stability, too much positive caster will tend to make the steering heavy.…

1. Wheel rate is ususally different from the spring rate because of the motion ratio/installation ratio which defines the geometric relationship between the change in position of force element i.e., spring and the change in vertical wheel center movement. Motion ratio arises due to the fact that spring which is mounted…

1. If the roll centre height increases, the body roll decreases assuming that the vertical distance between the roll centre and centre of gravity remains the same. 2.  When the roll centre is at the ground plane, the Roll Centre Height (RCH) becomes zero and the effect is as follows: The rolling moment increases compared…
