An experimental study of wheel movement arising from compliance in the front suspension and
steering system of a passenger car during braking is presented. Using a Kinematic and
Compliance (K&C) test rig, movement of the front wheels and the suspension sub-frame,
together with corresponding changes in suspension / steering geometry under simulated braking
conditions, were measured and compared with dynamic measurements of the centre points of the
front wheels. The resulting knowledge of front wheel deflections has enabled the causes and
effects of steering drift during braking to be better understood in the design of front suspension
systems for vehicle stability.
