compression damping.
1. The auxialiary spring has
not enough stroke.
2. Too much compression
damping.
1. Vehicle is unbalanced.
2. Too much rebound
damping.
3. Too much compression
damping.
1. The ride height is too low
and the chassis is too
close to the ground. There
is not enough stroke
before the bottom-out
bumper engages.
2. Not enough rebound
damping to prevent the
vehicle from being thrown
by the force of the springs.
3. Spring pressure is too high
to allow sufficient stroke.
4. Spring pressure is too low.
The vehicle bottoms out.
