Changing Trailer stability causes truck to jump [NOT A BUG]

Found this while playing around in open beta, if the trailer stability is changed while driving, the rear of the truck will jump up and could cause a loss of control. Recording of the bug below:

The bug happens both when changing the sensitivity up and down. It is not shown in the video but when stationary this bug does not happen and happens when the lift axle is both lifted or lowered. The intensity of the jumping seems to be related to speed.

Yeah, that's not new - I've had that happen in previous versions of the game. Not sure if it's a bug, really, but FWIW it's not limited to the beta.

My hypothesis is that changing the value resets the axles position (a bit in the ground while driving), hence the jump.

when you change trailer stability setting it affects center of gravity and suspension forces. its just like amount of mass in your trailer changed position suddenly. and the faster you move the bigger inertia change happen.
