Steering and suspension component data for AI side-pair review

The Census category distinguishes steering and suspension components from springs.

NAICS 336330 · Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components (except Spring) Manufacturing

The Census category distinguishes steering and suspension components from springs. A document-and-view exercise can preserve a component's reference side and its association with a fictional assembly. Census component scope

Draw original left and right component outlines with unequal attachment-marker spacing. Provide a pair list and an assembly view with its reference direction stated. Ask which pair matches the issued record. Include two left components with the correct total marker count and a mirrored image of the required pair. The key should separate quantity from side and orientation.

Label part, reference side, marker location, pair, drawing revision and view. Evaluate with a new outline and camera orientation. Score a correct count accepted as the required pair, mirror reversal and model-family matching used as exact part identity independently. Add a fully supported case and require the reviewer to cite the distinguishing markers.

Use original geometry and inert props without mechanical loading or installation. Vehicle-maker designs, supplier drawings, customer quality records and licensed inspection procedures require source-specific authority. Define the side-association task and specialist-reviewed key before submitting a licensing proposal. Establish buyer requirements before gathering actual records or additional capture. The exercise makes no fitment, alignment or roadworthiness determination.

Original Fiund exercise

A mirrored pair is intentional; two lefts are not

Original paper components have unequal feature spacing and marked faces. The example does not model vehicle fit.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1Kit mapOne left L and one right R required; marked face visible for both.
2Feature keySquare closer to triangle on L's upper edge; R reflects the pattern to its lower edge.
3Kit photoBoth props show the upper-edge relationship under the marked face.

Question for the model

How should the visible pair be labeled?

Show the reference answer and checks

Under the marked-face convention in records 1 and 2, both props have the L-like pattern. Record 3 supports two observed left-like geometries and no observed right-like geometry. A two-item count is not proof of a correctly handed pair.

  • Counting pieces without checking handed features
  • Comparing opposite faces as if they shared the same frame

Fields to preserve

marked_face
Aligns the orientation
feature_relationship
Identifies the handed pattern
pair_completeness
Counts each required side separately

Test another case

Show one prop upside down and require recovery using the face marker before labeling duplicates.

Paper geometry only; no actual suspension designs, installation, adjustment, fit or road safety.
