This paper presents the dimensional synthesis of the RSCS-SSP motion generating spatial mechanism using the displacement matrix method. This type of mechanisms is used the McPherson suspension for the steering motion in automobiles. First, the suspension is modeled as a multiloop spatial rigid body guidance mechanism : an RSCS-SSP mechanism. Then the design equations for SSP, RS, and SC strut links are applied to synthesize an RSCS-SSP for up to three prescribed positions for the steering motion from the suspension design specification. Thus a RSCS-SSP mechanism which is synthesized is also analyzed for the displacement during the steering motion
