Considerations for Suspension Modification

2019-10-09
CURRENT
J2492_201910
The scope of this document is limited specifically to the following types of passenger vehicles: automobiles, light trucks, and sport/utility vehicles. This document addresses modifications as they apply to legal use of the vehicle, and examines suspension modification as it applies to stock (as manufactured) ride height, and changed (raised or lowered) ride height. Note that modifications of ride height are considered, exclusive of wheel and/or tire modifications, which can also have potentially serious side effects, and are outside the scope of this document.

DYNAMIC TEST PROCEDURE - TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES

1970-01-01
HISTORICAL
J117_197001
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a dynamic test procedure for evaluating Type 1 lap belt assemblies for pelvic restraints and Type 2 assemblies for combination pelvic and upper torso restraints, as defined in SAE J4c. Uniform test requirements, test procedures, a seat belt assembly loading device, and data recording requirements are specified. The intent of the recommended practice is to provide an acceptance procedure employing a dynamic test method for determining the ability of seat belt assemblies to meet minimal requirements for restraining a seat belt assembly loading device. A simple dynamic test is described which will yield repeatable and comparable results while simulating the loading condition a seat belt assembly is subjected to in a frontal accident. The impact conditions generate belt loads representative of those obtained in a motor vehicle striking a rigid barrier head on at 30 mph as stated in SAE J850.

HISTORICAL
J879B_196807
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform test procedures and certain minimum performance requirements for motor vehicle seats and seat adjusters. It is limited to tests that can be conducted on uniform test fixtures and equipment available in commercial laboratory test facilities. This practice includes a minimum requirement for horizontal forward loads encountered in vehicle forward impacts, and horizontal loads obtained by impacting the vehicle from the rear. The requirements and test procedures in this recommended practice reflect current technology and industry experience. It is intended to subject this recommended practice to a continuing review and revision as technology advances and experience is expanded.

CURRENT
J2287_201209
This SAE Recommended Practice defines minimum performance standards, qualification requirements, and minimum documentation requirements for Integrated Lap and Shoulder Restraint (to) equipped Seats (IL&SRTS). The goal is to achieve comfort, durability, and occupant protection under expected and foreseeable normal operation loads. The document attempts to define test and evaluation criteria to demonstrate performance at peak operational loads, while attempting to maintain the seat’s ability to meet loads set forth in FMVSS 207, 210, and ECE 14, 16, and 17. This document also provides guidance for design by enumerating certain design goals to enhance comfort, serviceability, and safety. Guidance for test procedures, measurements, equipment, and interpretation of results may be presented to promote uniform techniques and to achieve acceptable data.

Recommended Practice for Optimizing Automobile Damageability and Repairability

2016-02-03
HISTORICAL
J1555_201602
This SAE Recommended Practice applies to all portions of the vehicle, but design efforts should focus on components and systems with the highest contribution to the overall average repair cost (see 3.7). The costs to be minimized include not only insurance premiums, but also out-of-pocket costs incurred by the owner. Damageability, repairability, serviceability and diagnostics are inter-related. Some repairability, serviceability and diagnostics operations may be required for collision or comprehensive loss-related causes only. Some operations may be for non-collision-related causes only (warranty, scheduled maintenance, non-scheduled maintenance, etc.). Some may be required for both causes. The scope of this document deals with only those operations that involve collision and comprehensive insurance loss repairs.
