Title: handling?
Post by: ben on September 25, 2008, 08:25:29 AM

hey folks.. my van seems to handle right hand corners better than left hand corners???? anyone got any ideas where i should start looking?

it just feels like the suspension has more give on the right hand side of my van which mkes it not corner as good as consequence..

might be like motor X riding, i was always better at right hand corners.
it might have somthing to do with your extra weight on drivers side?
where,s ur LPG tank?
my SWB corners like its on rails, its got very heavy suspension,
believe me my back dont like it, potholes kill me. ouch.

could be the shock is stuffed.
pedders do a FULL suspension check for $14 in the hope that they find something ::)
