SECTION 03 - CHASSIS PREPARATION SUSPENSION OPERATION/ If we keep force “C” constant, we can then vary the size of the vertical and horizontal forces at the WEIGHT TRANSFER front arm by varying angle “A”. As angle “A” is made smaller, force “X” decreases, and force “Z” The purpose of any suspension system is to iso- increases.

SECTION 03 - CHASSIS PREPARATION Coil Springs Most springs are designed as a straight rate spring. This means that the spring requires the same The free length of a coil spring is the length with force to compress the last one inch of travel as the no load applied to the spring.
Page 20
SECTION 03 - CHASSIS PREPARATION In terms of your suspension, if a bump is encoun- tered that translates into a force at the spring of 450 pounds, the 100 lbf/in spring will want to com- press 4.5 inches while the 150 lbf/in spring will only compress 3 inches.

SECTION 03 - CHASSIS PREPARATION As mentioned earlier, the configuration of the shim stack will control most of the dampening of the shock. There are several methods to tuning shim stacks. The first and most commonly used is to increase or decrease the overall stiffness of the stack.

SECTION 03 - CHASSIS PREPARATION Damper gas pressure cannot be confirmed by us- ing a pressure gauge. The volume of gas in the shock is very small, and the amount lost during gauge installation will lower the pressure too much and require refilling. After recharging is complete and before installing the spring the rebuilt shock should be bench-tested.
