Suspension flow chart
 
This was posted on a different site. I wouldn't like to say as to it's validity, but it seems like it could be quite useful. Make up your own minds :)

Little red cross. Very valid, but not a good description of suspension...

Someone please explain to me what is meant bt "front pushes".

Thanks.

In this case I'd take that to mean running wide/threatening to lose traction and won't hold as tight a turn as is desired.
The big problem with suspension troubles is there often isn't an accepted definition of the terminology used.

Thanks.

It's when the front 'slides' or at least in car terms you feel you are getting 'under steer' type sensation ...

A bit concerned they think preload and damping solves everything i.e. if the front has excessive dive, its probably coz you are undersprung ... slapping on more and more preload and or damping might cause other problems!! :shock:

But as I implied in my edit, if you overlook this part, it is deffo pretty nifty!! 8)

So that was for the front end ... do they have one for the rear end too? :scratch:
