Abstract— The main objective of this paper is to optimize the present wishbone suspension system. The wishbone suspension system is one of the most used suspension systems of passenger cars. Double wishbone suspension system designed for life of car so it should not fail during service period. Its behaviour directly affects the safety and performance. However if the suspension system is not optimized, by which the weight of the suspension system is more, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle. This project deals with the optimization of wishbone suspension system. The 3D model was modeled using Solid Edge ST10 is taken which is already used for analysis. Results of analysis like linear static and modal analysis, carried out using Ansys 14.5 is extracted for optimization. After getting the result from the Ansys, we focus on optimization of design. For optimizing design we primarily focus on reducing the thickness of upper and lower arm of the wishbone suspension system and while doing that we aim to accomplish factor of safety as 1.2, by which we can reduce the weight of the suspension and also keeping it safe from failing
