Mechanical Design of an Adjustable Coilover Suspension

Collaborated within a 4-person cross-functional engineering team to digitally model and assemble a complete Strut Tower / Double Spring Adjustable Coilover using PTC Creo Parametric.

Key Engineering Contributions

  1. 01
    Collaborative Assembly: Successfully integrated independently modeled components from four different engineers into a single, fully constrained master mechanical assembly, ensuring proper mating conditions and zero-interference fits.
  2. 02
    Parametric Part Modeling: Engineered specific structural and dampening components from scratch, including the Spring Isolator, utilizing advanced CAD operations to meet strict dimensional tolerances.
  3. 03
    Automotive System Design: Modeled and assembled complex functional geometries critical to high-performance automotive suspensions, seamlessly aligning the shock main body, lower/middle spring seats, locking nuts, and dual springs.
  4. 04
    Digital Prototyping: Verified the concentricity, alignment, and physical clearances of the internal shock buffer and external dust cover within the fully assembled strut tower structure.
