Hello, I have this suspension system with 4 parts connected with joints as seen in the photo. There is a grounded subframe, 2 arms connected to that grounded subframe and a wheel assembly connected at the other end of those 2 arms. They all are joined and when i change rotation angles they move up and down together as expected.
However right now i am trying to join a 5th part, which is the shock absorber. My aim is to automatically position the suspension so that both rods at the top and bottom of the shock absorber would snap to their respective holes on the suspension. Top rod is already rotation-joined with the grounded subframe, while the bottom rod has to be rotation-joined with the moving suspension assembly. In order to do that the suspension assembly has to move down a few degrees and here is my problem. Whichever way I try to join that last part the arm assembly just wouldn't move. There is a conflict somehow and Fusion 360 is not able to figure it out. Could someone help me? I have added a few more pictures to make it more clear.
Picture 1. Here is the conflict. The lower suspension arm will not move up to align the "rod" with the "hole".
Picture 2. Here is the rod, which is rigidly joined with the shock absorber.
Picture 3. Here is the hole with which the low part of the shock absorber has to align with.
Your issue was that the shock absorber consisted of only bodies and therefore had no assembly joints. Without joints, it will never be able to be joined into the top level assembly and function. I really butchered your shock and assembly in order to save time in the recording SO DO NOT USE my attached model.
