The bolted joints in suspension systems are subjected to severe external service loads during vehicle operation. To prevent the loaded joint from loosening and allowing it to retain its potential energy stored during assembly, a holistic design approach is needed. This paper explains the methodology to design and optimize bolted joints for the suspension systems of a modern 7-seater sports utility vehicle.
