rough 2010 wagon

Not to be rude but you guys have purchased one of the best of the shelf Off road cars.
It's built tough to last.
If you wanted a smooth ride ya should have bought a prado..

But all can be fixed.
It is quite possible you have purchased an ome kit which is rated to slightly higher ride weight if you started talking winch, draws and bar work to the salesman..

But if your looking to upgrade, do your research..

Westy's got it spot on. Rough 'n built tough.
Mines been rough before and after OME kit went in. Became even rougher when the steel rims were slapped on. It sends every bit of the road shuddering throughout the car.
Toy around with tyre pressures as others have already mentioned, you'll find a sweet PSI spot on and off-road.

Thanks Highlander
I have tried the lower pressure still rough. We put new old man emu on but we did not put 50mm lift. Do you think putting the 50mm lift would that help

[andrew 75]

Thanks for that Westy

50 mm lift gives you 50mm extra bounce. Mine had a very harsh ride when I brought it,
very disappointed coming out of a Troopy. The culprit turned out to be 65 psi in each tyre,
easy fix,
Are you bleeding the shocks before you put them on???????

Nah... with the right suspension it should be a nice smooth ride. Mine is pretty rough because the springs are too hard, went for a ride in a mate's car and it was so smooth.

Yea, right spring rate they are nice. But from factory they are a bit stiff..
Mine is harsh, but it's empty atm. When loaded up its nice..

X2 with Winnie. If you have heavy duty coil springs with no load, your ride will be very rough. Also what threedogs said... You may need to bleed your shocks.

It will take some tinkering with all the componants but you can achieve a comfortable ride over rough terrain. Just don't forget that each time you change the terrain you are driving on, you may need to change your set-up.... or put up with a bit of a rough ride until the terrain changes back to what your wagon is set up for.

[threedogs]

I'm still thinking shocks, maybe remove them and go for a drive running on springs only.
if its still harsh it will be coils, and you'll know one way or the other
You cant just fit shocks they need to be bled by fully extending and compressing
them a few times other wise its like bolt in a straight piece of steel

Thanks Threedogs for that I will give it a go
