Independent-suspension type axles for heavy duty special vehicles are usually produced by only a few specialized companies. The special techniques, such as designing, producing, testing techniques has been unveiled. The test of durability with the vehicle in which is installed a prototype taking several years is required for setting the designing parameters. In this research, through-drive the core-component of the independent-suspension type axle has been tested with the reverse engineering and the testing methods for the confirmation of the accomplishment in the development goal has been suggested. Also the prototype is developed from designing and testing the design with the CAD and CAE tools. As a result, the process and testing methods studied in this research are useful in the development of power train.
