GMW 15426 Test for Front Knuckle Steering Lever Impact

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 15426 testing. GMW 15426 is a test standard developed by General Motors (GM) that outlines the requirements for testing the impact resistance of front knuckle steering arms. The steering arm is an important component of the steering system in a vehicle and connects the steering link to the wheel hub.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the front knuckle steering arms can withstand impacts that can occur under normal driving conditions, such as hitting a pothole or pavement. The test is designed to simulate such impacts and evaluate the ability of the steering arm to maintain its structural integrity.

The GMW 15426 test involves mounting the steering arm on a test rig and applying an impact load to the arm at a specified speed and energy level. The arm is then inspected for visible signs of damage or deformation and must meet certain criteria to pass the test.

By performing this test, GM can ensure that their vehicles meet required safety standards and that the steering system can function properly even in the event of a collision. The GMW 15426 specification helps ensure the safety of the driver and passengers, as well as others on the road.
