Independent suspension system of a vehicle allows vertical movements of a wheel, without it affecting the other wheel of the same axle, unlike the solid one. Many elements of the independent suspension systems have been made out of steel in the past, but are recently being replaced by other new materials. Achieving top quality and short cycle times of machining, along with minimising cost per piece have always been key goals for mechanical engineers for technology. Many cutting tool manufacturers make recommendations regarding the selection of machining operations and tools for a range of automotive industry components. These recommendations are presented in this paper and should be kept in mind when designing the technology.
