21bounce — the translational component of ride vibrations of the sprung mass in the direction of the vehicle z axis …
22center of parallel wheel motion — the center of curvature of the path along which each of a pair of wheel centers moves in a longitudinal vertical plane relative to the sprung mass when both wheels are equally displaced …
23dynamic index — is the square of the radius of gyration of the sprung mass about a transverse axis through the center of gravity, divided by the product of the two longitudinal distances from the center of gravity to the front and rear wheel centers …

25neutral steer line — the set of points in the x z plane at which external lateral forces applied to the sprung mass produce no steady state yaw velocity …
26parallel springing — describes the suspension of a vehicle in which the effective static deflections of the two ends are equal; that is, the spring center passes through the center of gravity of the sprung mass …
