(1/3) > >>

countduckula:
hey up ,
can anyone shine any light on this little problem , me truck is a tdi 200 with a 2 inch suspension lift , also has plus 2inch shocks lowered shock mounts and extended bump stops , the rear trailing arms are cranked , all of which was fitted for the weekend , it would now appear that when i go over a bump like a speed hump that the front shocks are bottoming out , rather than the axle hitting the bump stops , any ideas peps

What makes you say it is the damper bottoming out not the axle hitting the bump?

Sound? Feel?

Range Rover Blues:
Extended bump stops like the deflex ones are only 1 1/2"

countduckula:
the axle isn't marking the bump stops or visa versa , and the nosie is a real knock your teeth out type of thud

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
I recently started on my +2 lift by fitting the extended bump stops first. One week later I fitted the springs and dampers. (Don't ask why)?

Oh boy did it go with a real bang everytime I went over a road hump.

Step 1: I'd double check it is not the bump stops first.
Step 2: Take a look underneath and see if there are any "impact" marks on any other parts.
Step 3: Have you inverted a roll bar?

If not, it can only be the dampers, especially if you have changed nothing else.
