This chapter explains how dampers deliver their forces of a large amplitude at low-frequency and by the same token forces of a low amplitude at a high-frequency. Different types of dampers are discussed, plus the mathematics of hydraulic damping. By means of examples it is shown how the proper damper rate is being determined. An eye opener is the way the dampers influence the behaviour of the car, especially in the transient phase of pitch to roll and vv. Finally the use of histograms is explained.
