this might sound a little childish, but play gran turismo and fool around with the suspension tuning aspects of any car. they explain some of the more basic aspects of each component. you can actually learn alot of basic stuff from that game.
I was once a newbee like you (ok, im still a newbee) and i learned a ton from reading through these boards. Basically just read and read and read and when you come across something that you dont understand, do a seach for it and it should become a little more clear. good luck and welcome to the love of cars.
