Shock rebound is the amount the shock shaft extends by itself after being compressed.

Import to test the shock after you build to check they are even.
What makes the RC Car definition of Rebound confusing is that it contradicts what full size cars define as rebound.
In full size car shocks bump refers to when the shock is compressed, and more bump means the shock resists more when being compressed. The Rebound in full size car shocks refers to when the shock is extending and more rebound means the shock resists being extended.
However the way we seem to define rebound in RC car's is the amount the shaft extends on its own after being compressed. The more it extends the more rebound it has. So in RC cars, more rebound means the shock will extend more easily, which is the opposite of full size cars.
