The new suspension, called ISU(In-arm suspension system) was developed for Infantry Fighting Vehicle. During vehicle field test, early failure of ISU's sealing system was occurred after driving the paved road. From the failure analysis, ISU's displacement data was obtained. In analysis of PSD data, track induced vibration which has high frequency and small amplitude characteristics, was dominant. Such track vibration would result in early seal failure because of friction increase and lack of lubrication. To simulate track vibration environment in laboratory, seals were tested under the condition of 20Hz, ${\pm}1$, ${\pm}2mm$ amplitude. The same type of seal failure occurred in vehicle test, was reproduced in the lab test under ${\pm}1mm$ amplitude. From the test results, the durability of improved seal was increased by 2.5 times compared with the previous one.
