Design position

(OP)
Hello All!
I have to compute the angles for the conical and torsional work of metal-rubber ends for the stabilizer link. I have a sketch witm the position of REB position MEJ and MTM position and Design Position. I have a problem with Design Position only because I don't know about initial preload (I suppose that there is and the Design Position i when the car is "on weels"). Can you help me?

RE: Design position

Design is usually kerb (full fuel, no occupants) or kerb+4 passenegrs. You'll have to ask your customer.

The sta bar should be under no load in this position.

Thanks GregLocock,
You are right - I have found the same in the internet. Do you know some books or web sites where I can find some more information about stabilizer bars (and mountings). I am resposible for the rubber to metal mountings for them now and frankly speaking the kinematics and solutions of them is still surprised me.

Cheers

Greg
