Designing Suspension
Hi all
I am a Student at Coventry University, and I am designing the suspension for a space-framed minivan with a mid-mounted Porsche engine.
I have chosen a bump rebound travel of 125mm (5”) and my roll centres are 35mm front and 45mm rear, I am designing the geometry so that the wheel will have no chamber change with roll.
How much roll angle should I design it to?
And
How much Ackermann angle should I have, and do you design it from the point that the KPI intersects with the ground, as this is the rotational axis.
I would be very grateful for any advice.
