As customer demand for purpose built vehicle increases, automobile manufacturers are developing systems using inwheel motors. When an in-wheel motor is applied to a vehicle, the kingpin offset increases, which may have a negative impact on driving performance. In this study, when applying an in-wheel motor, a system that minimizes king-pin offset was derived by applying a dual-axis structure that separates the steering axis and the camber axis, and a detailed design was performed. In addition, it was verified through analysis that the steering & suspension geometry characteristic were at the same level as those of base car.
