Rationale: The title and scope of this SAE Recommended Practice are expanded to cover ride as well as handling. In Figure 1, the “Disturbance” rating adjectives are added to relate to most ride performance issues while the “Control” adjectives relate mainly to handling and are carried over from the previous version. The “Desirable”, “Undesirable” and “Borderline” zones in Figure 1 are also carried over from the April 2007 version of this standard. The “Disturbance” adjectives are from Figure 1 of SAE J2384 (except the 1 and 10 rating adjectives are changed from “Painful” and “None” to “Unacceptable” and “Imperceptible” because this Recommended Practice is for perception versus expectation rather than the absolute basis of J2384). The Purpose, Introduction and References sections and Appendix A are new in this version.
