CR22 tab on the rear upper A-arm that the pushrod attaches to.
A steel tab welded to a frame tube, sized for bearing stress at the bolt hole and for bending at its critical load case. Tab position accuracy directly sets kinematics, which is why the finished frame is measured with a FARO arm and the deviations are pushed back into the models.
No part-specific design process is documented. The Arms subsystem design process applies: 1. Take the geometry points from kinematics and the wheel loads from the load cases: CR26I front outside cornering 648.691 lbf vertical and 786.094 lbf lateral, braking 585.523 lbf vertical and 763.26 lbf longitudinal, combined 768.095 / 785.550 / 444.124 lbf. 2. Resolve loads into each member with Altair HyperWorks MotionView. 3. Size the tubes in the calculator against buckling and yield. CR26I front upper 0.375 in OD / 0.305 in ID at minimum FoS 1.946; rear upper same tube at 2.581; front lower 0.625 / 0.527 at 2.49; rear lower 0.5 / 0.402 at 2.62. 4. Analyse the spherical bearing holder with two FEA setups so the boundary conditions are cross-checked: bearing fixed with loads at the pullrod bolt and arms, then arms and pushrod bolt fixed with a remote load at bearing centre. Validate the tab stress against a hand calculation for a hole centred in a wall (calculated 18.95 ksi against 22 ksi FEA). 5. Weld in the jigging assembly, then measure the finished arm.
Waterjet or laser cut, then TIG welded to the frame in the welding jigs.
