Abstract: A damper comprises an inner tube having a longitudinal axis with a piston slidably disposed in the inner tube. An outer tube surrounds the inner tube and defines a fluid chamber therebetween. A first valve assembly includes a first valve ring and a first valve disc fixed to the first valve ring. The first valve disc covers a first passageway to restrict flow therethrough in a first direction and allow flow in an opposite second direction. A second valve assembly includes a second valve ring and a second valve disc fixed to the second valve ring. The second valve disc covers a second passageway through the second valve ring to restrict flow therethrough in the second direction and allow flow in the first direction. The first valve assembly is axially spaced apart from the second valve assembly.
