This is a cut-and-paste from a long closed website, I believe the article to be accurate but do your due diligence!
When a car moves along a flat road the engine has to work to overcome two main resistances - air resistance and rolling resistance (the drag in tyres, wheel bearings etc). The top...
Arctic Cat did this on their snowmobiles 10ish years ago:
Utter failure, suppose to update the dampening at 1000 Hz, wires going to some "brain". 2 year market run.
or maybe this - mostly on Polaris snowmobiles:
A Fox position sensative shock - hard - soft in the middle - hard, these...
Once you compress the bump stop you pretty much have uncontrolled rebound.
This makes no sense. The shock still has rebound resistance - unless it is blown out
Unless I don't understand your comment.

Where tolerances come from:(from a text long, long, time ago)
“…It looked as if some of the tolerances were assigned much closer than should be necessary, and I started to try to find out how they had been fixed. To accomplish this, on every occasion when I met an engineer I asked him how he...
Who's responsible?
The company with the logo on the lower left of the print.
We have drawings with 6 signatures on 'em - and not one of those six people are with the company anymore.

Yes, the shock shaft or piston has no idea that its in a 5" tube or a 10" tube - unless (of course) it is in a position sensative shock - like the FOX Position Sensative series. JK
In a safe place, have someone drive your car that you can trust, and follow behind in another car. As mentioned I bet you will see the rear wheels will not follow the front. Good Luck. JK
"The mono-tubes tend to run as low as 30 psi, we cannot seem to get below 60 psi without seeing cavitation"
We keep the pressure constant (high pressure mono-tube, 200 psi, snowmobile application) and change the valving. The pressure is used to keep the fluid from boiling and eliminate...

Go find an old (and I mean old) snowmobile that had bogie wheels for a rear suspension and gang the bogies in any amount you like. Put some weight on it and run it over a proportion "bump" (or bumps) and video the entire process. If nothing else it would be cheap!
