Bumper Spring/Damper Capacity
Bumper Spring/Damper Capacity
(OP)
Anyone have any internet leads on where to go to find the energy necessary (spring constant, effectively) to permanently fully compress the rear bumper spring/damper assembly on a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron? Not getting anything from the manufacturer. I need to do some forensic engineering.

That would at least give you a "more than this" energy.
Beyond that, I suspect a trip to the junk yard to collect some test specimens is in order.
