Suspension Design Procedure

The document discusses the design process for a vehicle suspension system. It outlines key steps like determining the type of suspension, designing front and rear suspension components like control arms and knuckles based on design constraints, performing market research, modeling the design in software, calculating loads and ride properties, and validating the design through simulation. The design process involves determining geometry, sizing components, calculating stiffness and damping parameters, and simulating performance.
