Damper = Shock absorber - A device that dampens suspnsion movments in an attepmt to keep the tire in consistant contact with the ground.

Damper = Shock absorber - measurements - Front, Rear.

Driveline = Drive shaft = Propeller shaft = Prop shaft - The components which together transmit power from the transmission to the drive axle(s). These consist of at least one driveshaft with a universal joint at each end.

Drivetrain - The combination of mechanisms connecting the engine to the driven wheels, typically the transmission, driveshaft (propeller shaft), differential and axls in a rear wheel driven vehicle.

Gross Horsepower = Engine horsepower = Horse power at the flywheel - This figure is the output of the engine on it's own. This can me measured by mounting and engine in a special figure to use with a dynometer (most accurate) or calculated from net or wheel horsepower. This figure does not take into account power loss in the drivetrain. Typical power losses can be from 10-30% drivetrain defendant.
