  • How much should it move?!

    On the way into work this morning, I noticed when I turn hard, the amount of rear tyre I can see in the mirror changes. Not by much, perhaps an inch or so

    The tyres are Khumo muds so probably have a more flexible sidewall than road tyres, AND I have landcruiser springs on the back (~3" lift) and all the associated panhard / anti roll mods. I also have a 2" body lift.

    Slightly perturbed, when I parked up I checked underneath for anything loose around the panhard drop bracket / attachment points area, and couldn't find anything obviously loose. I tried shoving the truck sideways to see if I could get any movement, and only got body roll as you'd expect.

    So, is what I describe normal? The handling feels normal, and I guess any slack in the panhard / trailing arms department would show itself as distinctly weird handling.

    Tony was underneath a few months back and didn't mention seeing anything untoward, and I'll get underneath for a proper look tomorrow, but until then, can someone call me a paranoid idiot, and perhaps nominate me for the cellar, thus putting my simple mind at rest?

    Don't forget any suspension movement will cause the panhard rod to effectivly change length, moving the axle left to right.

    And the the body will sway over the wheel as well as it leans over, noticably more because of the distance from tyre to wheel arch.

    Without looking at it, Its say you're fine, stop being a gurl!

        The size and amount our tyres stick out, if we did that on L's truck, all you'd see is aircraft!!!
