Adjust those shocks to a much stiffer setting, and take it from there.graham1 wrote:Ok, so I'm I need of a suspension guru now - the suspension in my newly purchased
4.8 is absolutely shocking. I didn't know suspension could be so bad in a car - we were in mabalingwe over the weekend, on one of the game drives with friends I was actually embarrassed by the ridiculousness, it bounces like a bouncy ball over bumps, and crashes over harsh bumps - the GnTs were flying all over the car! I can even hear the springs make a 'boiying' sound like a cartoon over bumps.
Apparently graham put in used springs in front the other day, so I need to ask him about that, the shocks are apparently some or other adjustable things, but I don't know anything else on them.
Can any one suggest someone who knows there stuff with suspention? Or alternatively suggest what I should go for to replace this current mess?
Thank you.
Cheers!
I did a bit of research and poking around last night - theyre Rancho adjustable shocks it seems. I'll have a proper look at them this afternoon to see what setting theyre on at the moment, Im guessing probably the softest setting though.Peter Connan wrote: Adjust those shocks to a much stiffer setting, and take it from there.
Now there is one shop I have not been able to find............ Want to drive in and they must be able to check the viability of each individual shock, and tell me if my coils is still working as intended.Wilkie wrote:if you know of a fitment center that can test shocks , or even a roadworthy center....???

This seems to be a guessing game at the moment
