The work puts forward an analytical method for the optimal kinematic design of the wheel suspension - guiding mechanisms. The independent design variables in the optimal synthesis are the global coordinates of the joints on car body (chassis), which is fixed on ground. The design objectives relate to the variations of the toe angle, camber angle, wheel track, and wheelbase. The goal of the optimal synthesis is to minimize these variations during the wheel travel. The proposed method contains three steps: imposing finite positions for the wheel, determining the global coordinates of the joints on car body, and analyzing the guiding mechanism.
