Rear passengers commenting on lurching/swaying feeling in D4

[gagsa]

Has anyone else experienced this sensation/problem, or is it normal for this model - D4

[101RRS]

Not normal - maybe you should stop swinging the steering wheel back and forward :)

Family did complain about this in the D3.

It did not take long for them to become used to it.

I think it is just a air spring v conventional spring feeling.

I think it is just a air spring v conventional spring feeling.
combined with an independent suspension design that changes geometry as height changes.

I had a smart mouth Toyota driving friend say something similar ... I offered to let him walk home from a particularly distant mountain top one day and he suddenly changed his opinion of the ride in the rear of a D3 - and when we got back to camp his wife commented "how much better overall" the D3 was than their Toyota (not sure how long that marriage is going to last :p)

You should get them to ride in the back of a pre-sway bar Range Rover classic (IIRC pre-1988). Then they will comment upon how stable the D3/D4 are! :D

You could check that the D4s balls are swinging freely.:angel:

The better half occassionally gets car sick in the D3 when I'm driving, she never did in the D2a, mind you she also gets motion sickness walking on a wharf.

Re Toyo's go for a drive in a GXL 100 series and you will find out real quick now unstable a 4x4 can be.

cheers,
