This paper had simplified the inspective device for the shock absorber of automobile and modified the traditional models to be a portable one. This paper adopts the embedded ARM module to develop the controller for the shock absorber; the distance between automobile and the ground after passing the obstacle is detected by an infrared range sensor component; then the portable inspection device for the shock absorbers in automotive vehicles is developed via the vibration model between the absorber, vehicle and obstacle. The portable inspection device developed for the shock absorbers in automotive vehicles is also setup to test the shock absorber of a SAAB to justify its feasibility by comparing with the BEISSBARTH screen-testline 7000.
