The image below is of the simplified suspension geometry. The following table describes the sequence of joints. You should be able to infer what the lines in the sketch represent based on which joints they attach to. There a lot of parts between the tyre contact patch and the upright, but we don’t need to concern ourselves with them just now.
Code | Type of Joint | Description |
|---|---|---|
SB1 | Spherical Bearing | Connects the Upright to the Lower Control Arm (LCA) |
SB2 | Spherical Bearing | Connects the Upright to the Upper Control Arm (UCA) |
SB3 | Spherical Bearing | Connects the LCA to the Pushrod |
SB4 | Spherical Bearing | Connects the Pushrod to the rocker (don’t worry about this is) |
SB5 | Spherical Bearing | Connects the UCA to the Chassis |
SB6 | Spherical Bearing | Connects the UCA to the Chassis |
Cl1 | Clevis | Connects the LCA to the Chassis |
CL2 | Clevis | Connects the LCA to the Chassis |
