When a spring is compressed to a point that the coils make contact. The spring has travelled to its maximum compressed height or at full block.

A hinged suspension link between the chassis and strut or wheel hub. A Double A-Arm suspension has upper and lower control arms. A control arm may also attach to a spring, damper, anti-roll bar and pu [..]

The distance in front view between the steering axis and the center of the contact patch of the wheel, where both would theoretically touch the road. If these lines intersect at the road surface, a ze [..]

Anti-dive is a suspension characteristic that affects the amount of suspension travel when the brakes are applied. When a car is decelerating due to braking there is a load transfer off the rear wheel [..]

When a car is accelerating forward, there is a load transfer off the front wheels and onto the rear wheels. Vehicle properties such as the center of gravity height, total weight, acceleration rate and [..]

The geometric center and innermost point of a turn or corner on a roadway or race course.

Description of handling characteristics of a vehicle, describing understeer, neutral, or oversteer.

Weight added to a vehicle usually to bring it to a minimum weight requirement-useful for adjusting balance in racing vehicles.

Vertical movement of wheel towards chassis. Aka deflection, jounce. In racing, the terms "bump and droop" are used together to define suspension travel. For OEM" jounce and rebound" [..]

Change in toe angle under bump/droop. Normally, slight toe-in with bump is used in the rear and slight toe-out with bump is used in the front to aid stability. Excessive bump steer in the front can be [..]
