Bump force, bump resistance, explanation pls?
Hi,

have been reading a couple of books on setups etc, in Drive to Win by Carroll Smith, he has a checklist of causes and effects in regards to car handling etc.
Under the heading "Corner Entry Understeer -- car won't point in and gets progressively worse"

one of the possible causes is "Insufficient front damper bump force"

Later under "Corner Entry Understeer -- car initially points in then washes out"

he states "Insufficient front damper bump resistance" as a possible cause.
He makes reference to rebound settings in other sections, just wondering if someone can clarify what he might mean by "Bump force" and "bump resistance"? Is he referring to shocks that have low speed and high speed bump? I think I have been reading too much too fast and confusing myself. heh.
I'm pretty sure bump force refers to rebound damping and bump resistance refers to compression damping.

Hmm, not so sure about that, as he refers to "rebound" settings further in the list. I will keep reading and try and nut it out.
