Turning a Heim Joint into a High-Fidelity Sensor: How Instrumented Rod Ends Are Redefining Vehicle Dynamics Feedback
Abstract In high-performance vehicles—where milliseconds matter and margins are razor thin—engineers rely on accurate, repeatable data to make informed decisions. Suspension and steering systems, critical to handling, stability, and driver confidence, are traditionally evaluated using indirect methods or external load cells that often introduce noise, complexity, or geometric compromises. This case study explores how a standard Heim joint (rod end bearing)—a widely used mecha
