Wheels - Lateral Impact Test Procedure - Road Vehicles
J175
The SAE Recommended Practice establishes minimum performance requirements and related uniform laboratory test procedures for evaluating lateral (curb) impact collision resistance of all wheels intended for use on passenger cars and light trucks.
Rationale: Update the set-up procedure and schematic in Appendix D to correct the starting datum for the drop height for velocity measurement to set the adjusted drop height. This update will mirror an update in process with ISO7141.
