Thread: Wheels tilting out on off-road height (with GOE Rods)

That is just a geometry issue, as these vehicles weren't designed to be at that height for long periods it is just how they are.

Very exxy to try and solve too. You will basically have to make some new control arms of different lengths...😮😮😮.

Looks normal. That height is equivalent to emergency extended, which is getting close to maximum extension.
The wheel travels in a slight arc and this is more pronounced at the extents of travel.

You shouldn't need to use Rods High (or Llams High) + Factory Offroad very often.
Only for recovery from bogged situations or getting over high obstacles such as rock steps.

For driving on the typical beach or dune, Factory Normal + Rods High is enough.
This is equivalent to Factory Offroad but without speed restrictions.

Cheers,

How did you go on Bribie with tyre pressure etc?

Scott

Thanks for the info, yer I shouldnt need the car at this height often.

The tyre pressures were good! 18 all round made it a breeze. It didn't even look like getting stuck. Also I didn't try turning off DSC.... Looks like I'll have to take another trip out there

Hmm I'd be turning DSC off everytime even if you don't think it's too boggy. You're most likely over working the cars systems for no reason. Other than a higher risk of getting bogged.
