Ride Frequency and Static Deflection.

Post

How to decide the ride frequency for front and rear suspension .Please tell me the concept of static deflection and how its value is estimated?

If R is the wheel rate and W is the wheel load and g is the acceleration due to gravity then SD=W/R and corner frequency=1/2/pi*sqrt(R*g/W), in consistent units. As such the two are directly related. Selecting the ride frequencies of a car depend on the intended usage of the car, and are usually a compromise.
