This paper describes a way to apply kinematics to suspension modeling to improve the ability for vehicle handling simulation with small computers. Position and velocity of the axle were derived from constraint equations of suspension systems configuration. The constraint conditions were symbolically processed with symbolic computer language. As an example, a McPherson Strut type of suspension was used to set up kinematical properties with the Mathematica language.
