Abstract

The paper deals with the determining the coordinates of the car's centre of gravity. Height of centre of gravity was determined by tilting the vehicle on the tilting platform about the longitudinal axis. Through this movement occurs compression of the suspension on the underside of the vehicle and at the same time occurs expansion of the suspension on the opposite side. The deformation causes the tilt of sprung weight against unsprung weight.
