Steering & Suspension Design

ESS specializes in the area of suspension and steering design. We have extensive experience in both design and development of chassis, suspension, and vehicle systems. Ride and handling characteristic are finely balanced between the art of "tried and true" engineering practices and state of the art analytical simulations. ESS utilizes several commercially available software as well as custom developed software for suspension design and vehicle dynamic analysis.

  • Ackerman Prediction
  • Caster / Camber / Toe
  • Cost & Timing Analysis
  • Design for Assembly
  • Kingpin Inclination
  • Manufacturing Feasibility
  • Roll Stiffness
  • Scrub & Scuff
  • Turn Radius

The heart of vehicle performance lies within the characteristics of the suspension and frame interaction. ESS engineers utilizes a systematic approach to suspension design which accounts for point convergence as well as "good sound engineering practices". This means that suspension performance characteristics are continually balanced against cost, packaging, manufacturability, and design for assembly.
