This truck, suddenly oscillating at double frequency, would suddenly be far above the critical speed of the oscillation it is currently experiencing, and would not stop until decelerated below the new critical speed. <br /> <br />It seems to me, a truck made of a single piece rigid design would transmit forces from one axel to the other very efficiently, so a moment upseting one axel would be quickly transferred to the other axel. <br /> <br />I would think a truck made of multiple parts with flexibility would break up the transfer of energy from one axel to the other, allowing each axel to move independently and disrupting any possible destructive interactions.
