Strut Tower Load Calculator

Calculate loads on the strut tower/shock mount from spring force, damper force, and cornering loads.

Input Parameters

--
Static Load
lbs
--
Max Bump Load
lbs
--
Max Lateral Load
lbs
--
Combined Peak Load
lbs
Note: Strut tower reinforcement plates spread the load over a larger area. Track-focused cars with stiff springs and high-g cornering may require strut tower braces to prevent flex.

Reference

Static Load = Corner Weight Bump Load = Corner Weight + (Spring Rate x Bump) + Damper Force Lateral Load = Corner Weight x Lateral G x 0.5 Combined Peak = Bump Load + Lateral Load Strut tower must withstand combined loads with safety factor
