Vehicle suspension testing and demonstrating

Modular apparatus for testing a suspension of a vehicle supporting wheels suspended from a chassis comprising:

• a first undulation constructed and arranged displace a wheel of the vehicle by a first predetermined amount when the wheel traverses at least a portion of the first undulation;
• a second undulation that is coupled to the first undulation constructed and arranged such that when the wheel traverses at least a portion of the second undulation after traversing the first undulation, the second undulation displaces the wheel of the vehicle by a second predetermined amount;
• and
• a third undulation that is positioned adjacent to at least one of the first and the second undulations such that another wheel of the vehicle may traverse the third undulation,
• wherein at least one of the first, second, and third undulations is constructed and arranged with variable width.

Modular apparatus for testing a suspension of a vehicle supporting wheels from a chassis comprising:

• a first section of track comprising a first undulation constructed and arranged to displace a wheel of the vehicle by a first predetermined amount when the wheel traverses at least a portion of the first undulation;
• and
• a second section of track that is positioned proximate to the first section of track along a path such that when moving along the path the wheel traverses the second section of track after traversing the first section of track,
• the second section of track comprising a second undulation constructed and arranged to displace the wheel by a second predetermined amount when the wheel traverses at least a portion of the second undulation,
• wherein at least one of the first and the second sections of track comprises multiple undulations,
• at least one of the multiple undulations constructed and arranged with variable shape.

A method of testing a suspension of a vehicle supporting wheels from a chassis comprising:

• serially positioning first and second sections of track having first and second undulations respectively on a driving surface;
• moving the motor vehicle over the first and second sections of track such that a wheel traverses the first and the second undulations;
• and
• adjusting the height of at least one of the first, second and third undulations.
