1. Shock Absorber: This refers to the physical component that absorbs and dampens vibrations and impacts, contributing to a smoother ride.
2. Spring Rate: This describes the stiffness of a spring, determining how much force is needed to compress it. A higher spring rate means a stiffer ride.
3. Damping: This describes the resistance to movement in a suspension system. It helps control the bouncing motion and ensures a stable ride.
