Abstract

Widely all the incoming new era of the cars uses short and long arm dual wishbone suspension geometry system, due to its ability to perform individually without affecting the other wheel of suspension system and also to provide cornering stability. The short and long arm suspension provides the vehicle wheels to have lesser scrub radius and have negative camber gain during high speed cornering. The slight adjustments in the suspension geometry with respect to difference in upper and lower A-arm length and width between two suspension-mounting points can change the scrub radius, antidive and anti-squat characteristics of the vehicle. This all can result in poor vehicle ride handling characteristics and can result in decrease in life span of the tire.
