Heavy commercial vehicles play an important role in creating the trade and economic balance of countries. Also, the durability and safety of heavy commercial vehicles come to the fore. Heavy commercial vehicles consist of two parts. These are the chassis area with the equipment that allows the vehicle to move and the cabin section where the driver is located. The cabin area is the most important area that ensures the highest level of driver safety. Considering that the production of trucks is increasing day by day, it is inevitable for companies to increase their R&D activities in the field of cabin and cabin suspension systems for much safer, durable, and comfortable trucks. This study aims to determine the safe torque value of the fasteners and their assembly sequence of the Cab Suspension Console, which is one of the most important connection parts in a truck and which can cause a fatal accident by breaking. In this study, the safe torque value of the fasteners of the cabin suspension console has been determined as 180 ± 15 Nm/180 ± 10 Grad for the outer fasteners and 225 ± 18 Nm/180 ± 10 Grad for the inner fasteners. In addition, two different assembly sequences are determined and permanent strains on the part are measured. At the end of the assembly test, permanent strains on the part and other factors affecting the strain are simulated. According to the results obtained, the assembly sequence with a low permanent strain value is chosen and commissioned in production.
