Coil spring force line control is an important aspect of spring design for coil-over-shock suspension type applications, such as MacPherson strut and coil-over-shock trailing arm applications, from ...

Friction springs act as buffers to absorb and dampen high levels of kinetic energy from a moving mass. They also work as overload-protection devices and handle high forces in a relatively small ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...

This article was originally published on Cycle World. Single-shock rear suspensions are near-universal today. Traditional twin-shock setups are still seen, but exist mainly for reasons of retro style.

Spring and shock technology is moving forward at a staggering rate and Chris King of Viking Performance gets us up to speed. Road racers talk about camber gain, roll center, and Ackerman. Drag racers ...
