Abstract
Designing suspension system is a time-consuming process, it involves selecting appropriate suspension geometry, hardpoint location, spring rate determination, and so forth. McPherson strut is one such system that is widely used in vehicles due to various advantages it offers over other conventional systems, such as compactness of the system, weight reduction, and cheaper manufacturing cost. Even though it provides so many advantages, designing and tuning the system to achieve desired performance is difficult. In this study, influence of the tie rod hardpoints on various kinematics of a vehicle as well as handling behavior was studied. The kinematics and handling behavior for various configurations of the vehicle were obtained from MSC Adams, and finally results obtained were compared to the kinematics and handling of a baseline model and conclusions were drawn regarding the same.
