In July of 2004 KTH Racing will attend at the Formula Student event in England. The Formula Student event is a competition between schools that has built their own formula style race cars according to the Formula SAE rules. In January of 2004 the Formula Student project started at KTH involving over seventy students. The aim of this thesis work is to design the suspension and steering geometry for the race car being built. The design shall meet the demands caused by the different events in the competition. The design presented here will then be implemented into the chassis being built by students participating in the project. Results from this thesis work shows that the most suitible design of the suspension is a classical unequal length double A-arm design. This suspension type is easy to design and meets all demands. This thesis work is written in such a way that it can be used as a guidebook when designing the suspension and steering geometries of future Formula Student projects at KTH.
