Abstract

The primary goal of this paper is to design and analyse the entire double wishbone suspension system for a commercial vehicle in order to improve the vehicle’s stability and handling. The suspension system has seen tremendous advancement. A commercial vehicle’s suspension system must be long-lasting, light in weight, efficient, and cost-effective. The vehicle must be able to withstand the harsh off-road terrain environment. As a result, it is critical to concentrate on the stress strain analysis study of the lower wishbone arm in order to improve and modify the existing design.

Keywords
