aljohnso Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 just looking around it the other day after a particularly bone shaking ride down a small rough lane and I wondered if I was bottoming out. Looking at the gap between my bump stops and the plate on the leaf springs (front axle), the gap is about 2 inches or so. Is this right of have my springs subsided?? (edit, its a 1968 SIIa SWB petrol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 From the manual, 110-114mm should be the axle to chassis clearance. That's about 4" - not sure how thick the bumpstops are so you might need to measure again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljohnso Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 ah good, seems about right then ;-) Maybe I'll get some shock absorbers for it- pretty sure the ones I have on there have got no oil in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickjaxe Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Bone shaking ride, sound about right for a series Landy, shocker with no oil in will not make the ride stiffer just much more bouncy maybe even softer but no resistance to stop it rebounding.
