Which consequence follows from excessive bump damping?

  • A.A harsh ride as shocks are transmitted to the body
  • B.Poor control of the body, which floats after a bump because the spring energy is not dissipated as it should be
  • C.Rapid tyre wear
  • D.A tendency for the wheel to leave the road surface, which reduces the grip available for steering and braking

Answer: A

Stiff bump damping resists the wheel rising, so the force passes into the body and the ride becomes harsh. Insufficient rebound damping causes float. Each direction produces its own characteristic complaint. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first.
