Vehicle suspension stands out as an important subsystem, which allows vertical compliance to the wheels following an uneven road; keeps the proper steer and camber attitudes, resist roll of the chassis and provides comfort for passengers. The suspension subsystem needs to comply with stability, handling and optimum steering based on an appropriate suspension geometry. Nowadays, the use of simulation software in automotive design has increased. However, the cost and complexity of such software can make them unavailable to those working in the domain, especially the young designers working in vehicle's student competition (Baja SAE~®). Thus, this paper aims to propose a methodology for assessing a frontal Double Wishbone suspension, which is based on a set of analytical equations implemented computationally at Matlab~®. The formulae are developed considering simple concepts of algebra, trigonometry and geometry. The input data are the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) of predefined points, which are obtained from the CAD design and the bound/rebound travel. The main results are the simple analytical formulae, for the most important suspension's geometric parameters: caster, camber and toe angles. These analytical results are validated with MSC ADAMS~®, particularly its add-on specialized for the automotive industry ADAMS/Car~®, showing good agreement.
