The main objective of this paper is project is to model and to perform structural analysis of a lower control arm used in the front suspension system, which is a sheet metal component. Lower control arm allows the up and down motion of the wheel. It is usually a steel bracket that pivots on rubber bushings mounted to the chassis. The existing method in lower control arm
