How about a rotary (optical, potentiometer, whatever) encoder at the
hinge where a control arm attaches to the chassis?  What is the
application anyway?  Sensing acceleration of the unsprung mass would be
much more rugged and wideband, just epoxy a good accelerometer to a
convenient place on the suspension.
