Abstract

A method of assembling a frame and suspension module includes determining locations of first and second suspension member supports on the frame. Target positions of first and second connections between the frame and third and fourth suspension members are defined based on the locations of the first and second suspension member supports. Target positions of third and fourth connections between a fifth suspension member and the first and second suspension members are defined based on the locations and the target positions of the first and second connections. The first and second suspension members are connected to the frame at the locations. The third and fourth suspension members are connected to the frame at the first and second target positions. The fifth suspension member is connected to the first and second suspension members at the third and fourth target positions.
