Harrisong Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi, So i was thinking of getting this defender but some work has been done to it... Im guessing i could just change the suspension on the car back to stock and it would be just fine for normal usage but im not sure. And im also not sure on the spring going across the underneath of the car. Any help/advice would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPendrey Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The horizontal one is a "return to centre" steering damper, which (as the name suggests) assist the steering return to centre! Useful if the car is lifted significantly and the steering geometry is off. It is easy to return all of that to 'standard'. But make sure you think about the implications... will the tyres fit the arches when the car sits lower? Are there other changes like caster-corrected radius arms, or trailing arms etc.? Hard to be sure, but those radius arms look a golden colour to me, that's not standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Having gone through this myself... I would just look for a more standard vehicle from the beginning... you'll tie yourself in knots and have to spend a lot more money than you think to get it back to "standard"...
