Jounce,rebound,wheel travel

[Yoman]

I know this question may be arised many times:

But i have calculated max deflection at max load during cornering on inner and outer wheels at front and rear.

as i know wheel rate and max deflection.

But is this the total wheel deflection or only jounce or rebound????

Plz tell.

With a stationary car, you will have both bump (body & frame down relative to wheels) and droop (body and frame up relative to wheels) travel.

If you take this as the "zero" for measuring deflections, then one way will be positive and the other negative. So just check the signs in your results to find whether a wheel is in bump or in droop.

If you've got a conventional, passive, semi-independent suspension, and you are turning left, it's pretty likely that the right wheels will be in bump and the left wheels will be in droop.
