Suspension problems.

Post by Jagerbom »

I have Tjm shocks all round with OME coils in front.Need advice on what to do
for making the rear end stop with axle trample on corrugation roads.
Advice on replacing the rear leaves or changing the shocks with camel coil over?
Any advice would be appreciated. :wave:

Jagerbom, die nuwe bakkies is maar 'lig' agter as dit nie gelaai is nie. Het jy 'n canopy op? Indien nie sal dit help om bietjie gewig agter op te sit!

Of dalk 'n paar skape :lol:

Watse druk is jou bande agter gepomp? As dit the hard is sal hy ook baie ongemaklik ry. :thumbup:

Baddruk klink reg maar jy moet ook onthou, die BF se sidewall is 3ply.

Bridgestone is net 2ply en sal jou 'n sagter rit seker gee. Kyk ook na die Bighorn Bande, CasCru het daarvan op sy bakkie en ry baie gemaklik.

Ek het net `n ekstra bladveer ingesit en met jou TJM shocks behoort jy reg te wees.

Good day guys.

In my opinion the rear leaf springs for the Hilux are very hard as it comes out std thats why it hops around like that you find it does not do that when laden.The original springs is 4 blades and is 8mm thick.We have replaced the spring with a 6 blade and 6mm thick but we raise it away from the helper blade or load blade as some call it so the helper blade will only come into contact once laden and therefore you have the comfort unladen as well as a more flexible spring.

Shocks play an important role in this as the shock must control your wheels ie keep them on the ground what tends to happen is the std shock cannot control the wheel and you have the instability at the rear.The Best shocks for this is the Bilsteins in my opinion where we can make the shock to suite the suspension by controlling the dampening ie can make it harder or softer to suite the drivers needs.
Best regards
Darrell

Hallo Hansen,

Mag ek vra hoekom jy juis TJM shocks ingesit het en OME coils? Hoekom nie by dieselfde brand hou nie?Is daar spesifieke rede?

My vorige shocks was OME en die coils daar was nie in stock gewees nie toe koop ek tjm en gebruik toe die OME coils.
As ek nou weer gaan shocks insit sal ek defnitief Biltsein met die bladvere ook ruil.

Ek het TJM voor en was aanvanlik baie gelukkig. Ek ry hoofsaaklik teerpad en dan sleep ek boot op die strand so nou en dan en een van die shocks het op n staduim afgebreek. Die TJM agent (LA) se ek is oor my waarborg. Ek verstaan dit nie wnt ek het nie ge-off road nie, dan moet die shocks langer hou as normaal. TJM is gemaak om te gaan ruff en dit is hoekom jy dit opsit.
Sal maar seker moet @#$ en betaal. Ek is van Richardsbaai
