    Question Rear passengers commenting on lurching/swaying feeling in D4

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

    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.

    Cheers

    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 )
    cheers

    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!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    You could check that the D4s balls are swinging freely.

    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,
