An automobile suspension dynamic simulator having a base, tilting platform structure for supporting an automobile thereon, hinges along one lateral side of the tilting platform structure pivotally connecting it to the base, and structure for lifting the other lateral side of the tilting platform upwardly along an arcuate path. The lifting platform structure comprises a pair of laterally spaced tilting boards. A first pair of laterally spaced load measuring devices are mounted atop the front end tilting board for positioning beneath the front tires of an automobile. A second pair of laterally spaced load measuring devices are mounted atop the rear tilting board for positioning beneath the rear tires of an automobile. The simulator further includes a pair of tension spring scales to be attached to the center of gravity of the front end of the automobile and a pair of tension spring scales for attachment to the center of gravity of the rear end of the automobile. The respective ends of these tension spring scales are attached to the respective transverse base members so that they provide respectively a vertical load and a normal load on the centers of gravity of the front and rear ends of the automobile.
