Automotive suspension design a Bundorf analysis. Typically a vehicle designer is operating within a set of constraints. The suspension architecture selected for each end of the vehicle will have to obey those constraints. For both ends of the car this would include the type of spring, location of the spring, and location of the shock absorbers. For the front suspension the following need to be considered For the rear suspension there are many more possible suspension types, in practice. The hardpoints control the static settings and the kinematics of the suspension. The static settings are The kinematics describe how important characteristics change as
