A compliant mechanism is provided for monitoring the position of a suspension of a vehicle. The compliant mechanism can include a body for coupling to both an angle sensor and the suspension of the vehicle. The body can have at least two first portions and at least one second portion. The second portion is coupled to both of the two first portions and is more flexible than the two first portions.

Provided is a ball joint stud sensing assembly and method. A sensor package disposed in ball joint assembly includes a magnet at a first ball joint assembly component of the ball joint assembly, the magnet having a magnetic field, and a sensor at a second ball joint assembly component of the ball joint assembly, the sensor measuring fluctuations in the magnetic field, wherein the fluctuations indicate an oscillation and displacement of the first ball joint assembly component relative to the second ball joint assembly component.
