German term or phrase: Anfederverhalten
This term comes up a few times in this test specifications document. I believe it simply means the suspension behavior, but cannot confirm this definition. Google provides only 9 hits, and it does not appear in any of my dictionaries or glossaries. Here is an example:

Bei der Auslegung der Stabilisatorlagerung ist auf das **Anfeder-** und Schwingungsverhalten (z.B. Stuckern) zu achten.

Thank you.

Thank you Darin for your suggestion and hazmat for your comment. I believe you have a valid point, hazmat, and I wonder if this is a case where German with its many prefixes is more nuanced than English. For the purposes of my document, though, I think 'suspension behavior' works well.
