Suspension parameters

Make sure to place suspensions in a way so the visible damper is on top and not on the bottom!

Steering Angle	How far the wheel can steer in ° degrees.
Steering Speed	How fast the wheel steers.
Steer Return Speed	How fast the wheel moves back to neutral position after steering.
Power	How much force in % percent the wheel will have for propelling the vehicle.
Friction	How much friction the wheel will produce in %. Too much friction can cause the vehicle to flip over in corners, while low friction can cause slipping. The latter is usually the safer behavior.
Damping	The contracting component of a damper that will absorb an impact. Set it low (stiff) for even surfaces and high (soft) for bumpy ground.
Strength	The 'spring' component of a damper that will reset the damper after an impact. Set it high (fast) for even surfaces and low (slow) for bumpy ground.
Height Offset	Controls the height of the wheel relative to the suspension. A negative value will give more ground clearance. Make sure not to set it to the limits to keep some space for suspension travel.
Suspension Travel	How much the wheel can move upwards to absorb an impact. This will not work properly if the height offset is set to the negative or positive limit!
