[GROWLER_GRRRR]

hello you lot im new to the forum and the ownership of the TOYOTA SURF ssrx
3.0td auto 105k mile .

im wanting to know what they drive like on the road this one seems a little bit harsh when it hits a bump it shakes a little bit too much .

just wondering if they all do it or if there is an easy fix ...

its not wheel balence its more there is not a lot of suspension action ...

let me know if you lot can recomend a course of action .

this surf is used mainly for road and towing a boat .

Have you got the suspension switch on hard or soft? (Seriously, it ain't a pi55 take mate).

I have a 3rd gen and it handles like a car on the road, no nasty jars in the suspension.

Is it standard?

x2 is the switch on hard or soft??makes a big difference to how the suspension feels really firms on wen its switched on hard

[IanB2]

Another factor is your tires and the pressure in them. What are you running?

might be shocks that are past their best

the switch should be beside the handbrake on the front half of the arm rest there an ect one(sports mode for the autobox) then the hard/soft one(suspension one)an power foldin rear mirror if you have one fitted to your rear spoiler

it holds the gears longer before changin so the revs can build up higher
to build speed a bit quicker
