I am currently designing a upgraded car suspension top mount for my university project. I am designing it in CAD and need to test it against the forces it will need to withstand however i can find no information to calculate such forces. It would be the front suspension mcfersion strut

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

weight of car 1060kg
max loading 1650kg

Maximum lateral & longitudinal forces: It corresponds to the tire maximum friction force (In any direction)

As for the vertical force, if you get more than the entire weight of the car on one wheel (with the weight transfer), you are probably in big trouble!
