Definitely
The main issue I see is accurately modeling the forces involved, and how far to take the model, i.e. do you include just the bracket in the model, or do you include other things, such as the endlink, LCA, swaybar, etc.
I would think that you would want to include the lower bolt of the endlink, since that is causing a force and a torque. Consequently, I would think that you would want to include the LCA, or at least constrain the bracket where it would connect to the LCA.
The tough part with this is that there are a lot of irregular shapes and oblique forces that need to be taken into account. My last concern is how do we actually come up with a number for the force on the bracket?
