Which suspension property matters most for off road articulation?

  • A.Low unsprung mass
  • B.A stiff anti-roll bar, which keeps the body level and therefore ensures that the wheels remain loaded on the ground
  • C.Long wheel travel
  • D.A high spring rate, which prevents the suspension from bottoming out when the vehicle crosses uneven ground

Answer: C

Articulation is the ability of one wheel to rise while the other falls, which requires long travel and a soft or disconnected anti-roll bar. A stiff bar is precisely what prevents it. Live axles articulate better than independent layouts. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first.
