Chassis & Suspension Reading List

[dursp]

Hi guys,

I was thinking it would be great to get some suggestions of the go to books you have found most useful in the subject of suspension, chassis, vehicle handling. Please try to stay away from mentioning the most obvious books out there i.e Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Milliken and the Carroll Smith books. If you would like to mention other books outside of the above mentioned topics please feel free to do so as well.

The bible of Suspension Design written by the pope himself: Wolgang Matchinsky Road Vehicle Suspensions

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Road-Vehicle-Suspensions-Matschinsky/dp/1860582028

but be prepared, only for people that want to become experts in suspension analysis. I bought it back in 1988 and it helped me to write some nice tools for designing my suspensions. If you are just looking for easy reading then do not bother.

Cheers,
