|
|
Hi,
I've got new shocks on the back of my L400, but it bounces a bit when I hit a depression in the road
Not a problem as it is very comfy to be in
The question is, I`m going to collect a twin axle caravan and was wondering if it'll be okay to tow ( will the caravan be bouncing up and down or will things improve with the extra weight ) :?
Thanks Box1 |

Can anyone suggest a proper set of springs and shocks that will cope when pulling a large caravan then :? |

does it have ecs shocks fitted? if so you could try putting it in sport mode.
and unclebaz your springs are crackered, be interesting to see the difference once you fit your new springs _________________ Always remember when you read my replies I know less than Bazza. |
