Corrugated roads?

[ted44]

Hello all, with abig trip coming up, I'm getting a little concerned about the tails I'm hearing about corrugations on some of the tracks that we will encounter, having never really driven on a Badly corrugated road for any period of time! I'm not concerned about myself but how the 110 will cope? LoL!

Good quality shocks like Koni will help. With corrugations (they come in different depth and length) you have to experiment and find the speed that suits them.

Bilstiens all round with king springs!

All depends in how old your truck is and how fast or slow you drive...if it's not that old, the standard suspension is built to deal with it, just finding that sweet spot in speed is the key.. Fast enough to give airflow and smoothness and slow enough as to not damage anything

TYRE Pressure???

[Jacko44]

Good combo of tyres pressures and speed! Can be brutal though, teeth were chattering in places on the gibb !!!!!!!

A good loud sterio helps too you dont hear the bits that are rattling off

Tyre pressures are your primary small bump/high speed suspension on a live axle vehicle.

As long as your suspension is in good condition, adjusting your tyre pressures and speed will be more than enough for a 110 to handle corrugations as good as all but the most supple independent suspension systems.

And lower tyre pressures to suit.
My sons has done thousands of k's on corrugations,no problems at all.One trip they were that bad the upper spring hangers,i think they are called,broke on his mates patrol.
Fully loaded Puma,Kings and Billys,no problems at all.

As others have said,the OEM coils and shocks are very good as well.

Hi,
we had some horrible corrugations up near Cameron's Corner and down on Top Hut Road going into Mungo National Park.

Lowering the tyre pressure to the low 20s (psi) changed what was a scary teeth rattling nightmare to a road that could be driven at a slow speed (20kph) knowing nothing was getting damaged.

You could possibly go lower with pressures, but I was carrying over 800kg on the tray of the D130.

cheers
