Llams Query

[lrdef110]

Just contemplating fitting 265/65/18 tyres and the only potential issue I am concerned about is clearance if the car goes into limp mode. I have an ARB bull bar and my 265/60/18 tyres already rub against it in access height which I assume is limp mode, so an extra 13mm could be an issue.

I have LLAMS so the question to whoever may know is- can the use of LLAMS override the height if the vehicle goes into limp mode?

Thanks for any help with this.

Yes. Recovery mode...

Only works if the compressor is capable of
Running.

The risk is lowering to the bump-stops which Llams cannot overcome. However MY12 introduced taller bump-stops which provides more clearance so not quite the severe problem of earlier D4s.

Thanks Graeme. Unfortunately mine is MY 2010 so looks like I would be 'up the creek'.

The part numbers are all the same for the shocks yes, so if I have recently replaced my shocks then I should expect to now have longer bump stops?

BarryBarry if you have 265 60 18s and they rub on the bull bar, I'd be looking at your castor readings on your alignment to see if they're close to the target data. Or check whatever is rubbing on the bull bar to see why. I have the old style ARB, even still, I doubt the newer style should be rubbing either. Especially with that diameter tyre.

The earlier shock part numbers supersede to the later numbers. I fitted the new part number genuine D4 shocks to a MY10 D4 at the end of 2014.

Also depends on the positioning of the bull bar.
Some are slightly further back, Others forward a bit.

True, I have about 10mm from post to grill, would make me wonder just how close they fitted the bar to the grill. Also literally touching the washer bottle on the left front so mine couldn't go any further back if you tried.

Yes mine was one of the first D4 ARB bars fitted and it sits slightly lower than most (not optimal). There is just not enough adjustment to get it any higher.

Cheers.
