This research paper discusses about the design and analysis of suspension strut used in automotive industries. The main objective of this research is to study the suspension strut by modelling using solid works and then analysis have been performed using ANSYS by considering structural steel, carbon fiber and E-Glass material. Based on the results obtained from the analysis, comparison have been made for above materials to reduce the weight of the suspension strut to improve the life of the model. From the analysis results it can be concluded that it is possible to reduce the weight of suspension strut using composite materials. From the above study it can be concluded that glass fiber has performed well as compared to other materials which in turn increases the life of the suspension strut.
