Jeep® Cherokee Shimmy Analysis: A DOE Approach

This paper is a discussion on a statistical problem solving approach to determine the root cause of shimmy in a Chrysler Jeep_® Cherokee. A blend of statistical approach with strong analytical quantification is used to give the problem solving a non-subjective flavor. The statistical aspect of the problem solving consists of DOE (Design of Experiments) while the analytical portion describes the instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis.
