The coupling device 11 comprises a receiving portion (12, Fig. 4c) and adjustment portion 13, wherein the receiving portion is designed to receive the adjustment portion and couple the adjustment portion with the test frame (5, Fig. 4c). The adjustment portion includes a coupling interface 19 for connecting to the damper or gas spring, wherein the coupling interface is variably configurable relative to the receiving portion. The adjustment portion may comprise a detent 27 or protrusion for engaging with a recess (28, Fig. 4c) in the receiving portion to allow sliding motion of the adjustment portion and coupling interface along a rail. The coupling interface may define a coupling point P1 and may be moved in at least two rotational degrees of freedom such that the coupling point remains fixed in position throughout rotation. The adjustment device may comprise a foot 15 which is rotatable about a first rotational axis B and a neck rotatable about a second rotational axis C. The foot and the neck may form a kinematic chain.
