Abstract

The capability of automotive suspension system depends on steering safety of knuckle and lower control arm. In this study, light weight is applied with lower arm by the material of aluminium alloy. Distributed stress, fatigue life and proper vibration are analyzed with multiple loads happened by automobile. The durability of lower arm can be verified by the result of structural analysis.
