Abstract
Front axle is the most important part especially in a load carrying vehicle. The failure of front axle is a serious concern in commercial vehicles. So, it is necessary to analyze the front axle that able to withstand at severe load conditions before its manufacturing. To this kingpin stub axle plays a major role in direction control of a vehicle. This is to analyze the front axle at different loads. Kingpin stub axle linked with other linkages and supports vertical weight of the vehicle. This mainly deals about the improvement of strength of front axle, material selection. For finding the stresses on the beam using various software which are available for the static analysis and finding the loads at which axle is going to be deformed. The analysis is carried out to the vertical loads where total weight is carried out by the vehicle. As using the kingpin stub axle assembly for front axle the cornering load is more for kingpin. As the vertical loads are applied on the PAD spring which gives major support for front axle. Further the objective of analysis is to improve product quality, developing time, material and manufacturing costs and maintaining stress levels. This can be achieved by performing detailed load analysis.
