Pheonix Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have a TD5 T reg 1999 7 seater on air. When driving it feels like with driver and one passenger, the car moves around the road and you need constant correcting with the steering wheel. The air bags have been changed recently and all associated parts of the rear susspension work as they should. As far as I am aware this car does not have ACE. Car has 128k mile and was last serviced at 125k with nothing noted. Checked the tyre pressure, all were fairly low, so re-inflated as per book 28 front/38 rear. No change to the handling Can anyone offer advice on the following questions please? Any advice to correct the 'wobbley' feeling as you drive? Can ACE be retro fitted? Or is there any other 'up grade' advisable for the suspension? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 ARB bushes/dog bones, radius arm bushings, worth having a wiggle of the TREs too. No idea on the ACE sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 sounds more like the trackings out, or there is play in some of the balljoints that control front toe (or even the swivel balljoints) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The wobble, as the above have said, plus check the drag link. ACE is really good, despite the occasional reliabilty issues I would never go without. However I think retro fitting is a HUGE and expensive job.

axlechorus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 As a proxy for the tracking look at the wear patterns on your tires in particular the front pair. This will allow you to see if your tracking is inline or not as a non even wear pattern would indicate miss alignment. Such alignment is quite likely to be miss in a service and so could have been there for sometime. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
