Abstract
This paper proposes to optimise the steering linkage including an effect of McPherson strut front suspension. Usually, the suspension is exerted with an impact force due to uneven road, which dynamically changes to performance of a steering linkage. The present work proposes to study an effect of suspension to performance of steering mechanism with comparative study of steering mechanism with and without suspension system, which is included in optimization problem. The performance is minimised in both turning radius and steering error, that is called multi-objective optimisation problems. The model of McPherson strut front suspension is simplified model but it is sufficient accuracy. The results show that the suspension is an important effect on the optimisation design and the optimisation results show that the design concept leads to effective design of rack and pinion steering linkages satisfying both steering error and turning radius criteria.
