Thread: The long and the Short of it.

Hi guys....

Thanks for the reminder..... I have forgotten to put the number plate back on.



I have installed standard hight heavy duty king springs to compensate for the winch weight..... no prop mods and no vibrations as yet. Do they start later? Or am I safe? Driving 110 kph today was smooth.

From the pic's it looks tall and you don't need much lift to cause issues in the PUMA.

Prop shaft angle may show its self in two different ways.

1/ vibration around 90km/h and above sometimes minor or more notice able on some vehicles.

2/ most common, is uni bind. To test for it, jack up front end, from gear box cross member. So both front wheels are off the ground and the suspension is extended to its maximin drop. Crawl underneath and check -

1/ turn the front prop shaft slowly looking and feeling for binding of the uni's (binding is where the yolks touch each other during the 360deg rotation) or stiffness.

2/ check the front prop shaft is not resting on the sway bar. If it is this will stop the front suspension from dropping to its maximum position.

You should check these things before you head out 4x4ing.
