Stiffness tests on proposed HSFV5 rubber damper mounts (IM-HSFV-025)

At present HSFV5 carries dual rubber bushes to Mctalastik part number LB 3116 at either end of the dampers. Tests show that when the inner rubber was deliberately blanked off, thus increasing the stiffness of the bush, the vehicle lateral ride was improved. Thus static stiffness tests have been carried...
