Off Road Race Shocks Explained - What's Inside A Rebuildable Shock?
|
This shim arrangement is called a "flutter stack." Notice that the 1.00 shim is between the 1.75 shim and the 1.60 shim. This arrangement makes it so that the 1.75 shim can flex more easily and thus provide a softer ride over smaller stutter bumps. Before bypass shocks became common, a single coilover shock at each corner of the vehicle controlled the ride. The valving inside the coilover was more critical. These days, flutter stacks aren't used very often because many people use bypass shocks in addition to coilovers. Bypass shocks offer greater tune-ability because they are position-sensitive. King can still install a flutter stack in a coilover upon request. View Related Article
