An apparatus for testing vehicular shock absorbers in situ upon a vehicle having a sprung portion and supporting wheels, the apparatus comprising a support structure, elevating means on the structure engageable with one supporting wheel of a vehicle and adapted to exert an upwardly directed force thereagainst and thereby raise the wheel and that portion of the vehicle supported thereby from a relatively non-elevated position to a relatively elevated position, means for permitting the elevated wheel and portion of the vehicle supported thereon to fall from the elevated position to the non-elevated position, and means for sensing the relative motion between the sprung portion of the vehicle and the vehicle wheel during and after the fall thereof and thereby determine the rebound and compression characteristics of the associated shock absorber. |
