I've never had my car suspension 'hanging' so i don't know if the thing binds up but the "A" arms reach a limit and stop. I was just quoting from different suspension books that I have read. I do understand though that suspension at full travel should not be limited by shock travel. This damages the shock. That's where I mentioned ball joint bind. When a car is airborne there is nothing to stop the whole suspension from falling out except for the shock, arm and joint limits. Road cars aren't designed to go that far. Off-road racers have cable limiters etc to beat the bind. I'm happy to be corrected...learning new stuff is always welcomed.
