If you have been wondering why your Vanagon just dosent ride as nicely as that other Vanagon you once rode in, this is probably the reason. The cast iron lower control arm *acts as a flywheel*. It absorbs the energy caused by bumps in the road.* Stores it and keeps it from being transmitted to you.* Arrive at the camp ground fresher with this suspension. " Could someone explain to how suspension can "act as a flywheel" and what laws of physics it invents or overcomes by "storing energy" indefinitely? Curious minds want to know! -- Chris S.
