[VAC] Re: new participant and axles



Are Airstream shock absorbers the double action type, i.e., damping both
initial wheel displacement as well as damping rebound from the twisting
moment of the axle returning the wheel to it's original position?
If so, it would seem to me shocks would play a big part in the process and
affect the amount of initial wheel deflection. With no shock or with worn
shocks wouldn't wheel deflection be greater?
