I would be grateful for any assistance
I'm attempting to calculate the load on the bushing in the kingpin post on this steering axle. I've uploaded a pdf of the assembly. The load would be perpendicular to the kingpin center line at the top and bottom of the bushing. I'm not certain how the figure this. Am I correct with what I have so far:
The machine is 1400 lbs at the rear. Two wheels so, 700 lbs on each wheel.
The load through the kingpin would be:
C = 700 lbf / sin15 = 2704.6 lbf
