Abstract
This work deals with the design sensitivity analysis in the kinematics of the vehicle rear axle guided by four points - on four spheres (so called 4SS) in Chebyshev configuration. The study actually continues the research presented in a previous published article, which addressed the effect of variations in geometric parameters on the kinematic behavior of the 4SS guiding mechanism with Panhard bar (that is, one of the 4 bars of the mechanism was arranged transversely, while now all the guide bars of the rear axle are arranged longitudinally). The aim of the research is to identify the geometric parameters with significant influence on the kinematics of the guiding mechanism, in order to simplify the subsequent effective optimization process.
