Thread: OK. Next dumb observation.

It shouldn't. Do you have any knocking or banging when you go over bumps?

How many K's are on the beast & where was the vehicle located.
The vehicle & i am assuming it has EAS still has shocks & will eventually fade.
The D4 shocks are firmer than the D3's, Graeme has been down this path & he ordered the opposite way as he wanted a softer ride.

Cheers & Good luck.

No shouldn't be like that.

Are you running on coils or air?

If you're running on air, it shouldn't be like that!

Air with no shocks.
150 K kilometres.
Belonged to an older man who used it for local transport. (apparently)
Due for a service with a few minor glitches, so will get it looked at then.

My previous was a V8 D1 with upgraded suspension. It handled like a rally car on winding gravel roads. Predictable and responsive. This one is a useless lump, similar to a 1950's yank tank in the handling department. OK on the open road etc, but poor quality back roads is where I like to go.

I'd speculate that you need shocks and probably lower control arms. Best to buy shocks and airbags as a single unit. Maybe other things but at 150k theyd be rooted if they haven't been changed.

I've spent a lot of dosh getting
Mine to stop handling like a 62 laurentian with a broken shock and bald tyres. Now it handles and rides like an air bed on rails. Or something.

What?

I assume you aren't totally familiar with the setup, as the D3 suspension is air springs over relatively conventional shocks.

And at 150k, I would assume that the shocks are past their "best before" date.

[EDIT] Epic Pooh got there before me.
