Abstract Currently, as well as in the past, researchers have shown great interest in developing suspension systems for vehicles and especially in the design and optimization of the suspension parameters, such as the stiffness and the damping coefficient. These parameters are considered to be important factors that have an influence on safety and improve the comfort of the passengers in the vehicle. This paper describes a simplified methodology to determine, in a quick manner, the suspension parameters for different types of passenger cars equipped with passive suspension systems. Currently, different types of passenger cars are produced with different types of suspension systems. Finding a simplified methodology to determine these parameters with sufficient accuracy would contribute a simplified and quick method to the inspection of the working conditions of a suspension system. Therefore, a simple system to determine these parameters is needed. An analysis of the suspension parameters is performed using mathematical modeling and numerical analysis conducted using the Working Model software. The result derived from the developed methodology shows small errors when compared with the generic values, and it can be concluded that the design of the suspension parameter measurement device using the developed methodology is useful, simple, and has sufficient accuracy.
