Abstract
Keywords: elastokinematics, wear, suspension
The condition of suspension components is besides the vehicle design very important for the ride control and therefore it is a critical issue for the active safety. Moreover, current vehicles are equipped with many kinds of control devices whose target is increasing the active safety such as ABS and other systems building on the ABS functionality. Particularly for such systems the proper function of suspension is of high importance, (Valásek, Vaculín, Kejval, 2004). These systems require exact wheel positioning and the best possible contact between tyre and road.
