Land Vehicle is bouncing all over the place

[M6Hurricane]

Seems like no matter what I do, my land vehicles end up being uncontrollably bouncy. Terrain doesn't even matter much, it's bounces on both flat land and hills. I used small armor blocks (just so you know for the scale of the vehicle), the ones that require 1 steel plate.

I opened up the settings and messed with all the sliders (strength, damping, etc). I used small suspension and wheels and then I used big suspension and wheels. As for the design, it was similar to the loading screen: just a 6x6. All my suspensions were on the same way (one wasn't upside relative to the others, etc). All the wheels were in the "wheels group" when I adjusted the settings. The parking brake wasn't on.

I have no idea what I need to do / look out for when building and driving a land vehicle. As of right now, they're uncontrollable and useless to me, so what am I doing wrong?

where are you using the land vehicles and what is the gravity there?
low gravity=vehicles bounce around

Now I am no expert in land vehicle I design boats more often (they hover above they lands so in essence they are hoover craft) Bt have you teried increasing the mass of your land craft? tThis would result in it being much harder to ift off he ground as more force would be needed for veritcle acceleration but know this will acclerate slower in all directions.

Space engineers. Land vehicles. hah :)

Didn't test in solo, but in Multi, just forget about vehicules for the moment ...

Well bouncing wold be caused by high strength, The suspension is pushing down so hard tat when it does get compressed by force the rebound has a kick to it making it bounce. Try setting strength low to the point the vehicle starts to sink onto the suspension. Then put it a lil higher so it sits at the very top (but dont go far past) and it should start bouncing a lot less :)
