hile conducting a bounce test: Technician A says that the bumper should be pushed two or three times downward with considerable weight applied on each corner of the vehicle. The bumper should be released after each push and the vehicle should oscillate about 1½ cycles and then settle. Technician B says that one free upward bounce should stop the vertical chassis movement if the shock absorber or strut provides proper spring control. If the vehicle’s bumper does more than 1½ free upward bounces, the shock absorber or strut is defective. Who is correct?
