A modular hydraulically-adjustable preload and/or cross-over system. The system includes a housing configured to couple with a main damper cylinder, the housing including a slave cylinder within a portion of a slave cylinder chamber, the slave cylinder telescopically movable with respect to the housing; a fluid chamber; and a fluid port configured to provide a fluid flow for the fluid chamber, wherein an increase in a fluid volume within the fluid chamber causes a portion of the slave cylinder to telescopically extend from the slave cylinder chamber. A preload flange coupled with the slave cylinder at an end of the housing such that a change in a location of the slave cylinder causes a change in a location of the preload flange.

Hydraulically-adjustable preload and/or cross-over

Disclosed herein is a cooling device comprising a cooler body, wherein the cooler body has a first chamber and a second chamber, a cooler body cap disposed to fluidly couple the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the cooler body cap has a recess that is suitable to receive a base valve, a first hose that is fluidly coupled to the first chamber, a second hose that is fluidly coupled to the second chamber, and an adapter, wherein the adapter is connected to the first hose and the second hose, wherein the adapter has channels to direct fluid flow.

Race cooler with integrated base valve

A vehicle damper assembly is disclosed. The damper includes a reservoir, a cylinder having an inner diameter (ID) and fluidly coupled with the reservoir and a rod and a piston. The piston coupled to the rod and configured to divide the cylinder into a compression side and a rebound side. The damper further includes an active base valve to provide independent flow control for a reservoir flow path between the cylinder and the reservoir. The damper also includes an active main valve to provide independent flow control for a piston flow path fluidly coupling the compression side with the rebound side.
