MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541085051 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 8, 2025, for 'an active wheel alignment mechanism for adjusting caster angle in a vehicle suspension system.'
Inventor(s) include Rengaswamy Jayaganthan; Pranav Adhityaa Dhayanesh Prabhu; Sanjay Ramanath Ravoor; Sai Siddharth Upadrashta; and Varun Pathaganahalli Lakshminarayana.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an active wheel alignment mechanism (200) for dynamically adjusting the caster angle in a vehicle suspension system. The mechanism (200) includes an upper suspension arm (202) configured at one end to receive an actuator element (204) and at the other end to engage a support rod (206). A rod-end joint (208) connects the upper suspension arm (202) to the vehicle's upright (214), while a guided connection (212) on the upright constrains the linear displacement of the rod-end joint (208). The actuator element (204) is operatively coupled to the upper suspension arm (202) to vary its effective length or longitudinal position. This controlled displacement of the rod-end joint (208) within the guided connection (212) enables real-time variation of the caster angle while the vehicle is in motion, thereby enhancing steering responsiveness, stability, and adaptability across diverse driving conditions."
