Abstract:
A damper including a pressure tube, a piston, and a reserve tube is provided. The piston is arranged inside the pressure tube and divides the pressure tube into first and second working chambers. The reserve tube extends about the pressure tube to define a reserve tube chamber between the pressure tube and the reserve tube. A first damper port is arranged in communication with the second working chamber and a second damper port is arranged in communication with the reserve tube chamber. A remote valve assembly is spaced from the damper. The remote valve assembly includes a first electromagnetic valve that is arranged in communication with the first damper port by a first hydraulic line and a second electromagnetic valve that is arranged in communication with the second damper port by a second hydraulic line. An accumulator is arranged in communication with the first and second electromagnetic valves.
