Abstract
A new facility for the measurement of the compliance, kinematic and coulomb friction properties of heavy vehicle suspensions is described. The facility may test single or tandem and front or rear suspensions. Test procedures for measurement of vertical and roll rates, kinematic and compliant steer effects are presented. Qualitative findings are discussed and example data is appended.
