The racing shock absorber, or damper (proper term) may be one of the most mysterious elements in motorsports chassis design and tuning. The primary function of the dampers, is to control the energy as it enters and exits the springs, which when compressed (“bump”) and then released (“rebound”) have a natural tendency to overshoot their original length as they release the energy …
