ride comfort Q SWB vs. LWB

Maki · #1 10-22-2003, 10:23 AM

bakit ganun... yung swb na paj 3dr ko(tonka) with kyb na gas all around eh mas comfortable pa dun sa 5dr na blister na naka orig mmc na FLUID shocks... eh lwb na nga tapos fluid pa.. diba dapat mas comfy ride nito?

ps: pinacheck ko na yung suspension and shocks... pinalitan na bol joints (all 4) tie rod end, bushings etc etc na nakitan sira on both rides...

pero dun sa LWB eh parang pag nalulubak eh i get thrown around sa cabin! hehehe exaggerating a little.. =)

Ser, di ba merong shock absorber adjustment switch yung blister fender? Baka po naka-set sa hard?

ahhh subic version din to eh.. ala ito nun... kung baga sa civic eh lxi lang to... crippled version... and fluid din yung shocks na stock nito kaya wala tlga adjustment...

One thing I could think of now are the torsion bars. Baka po ginalaw na ito. You'd have to remove it and reset it back to zero. Cranked TBs tend to be more stiffer, even if it does not look lifted.

ahhh oo nga pala buti u mentioned tb's yung frontend ng blister ah lundo na pala... dunno y pero its kinda lower than the local paj. mga 1-1.5inches...

Either those TBs have seen its end or you could reset the settings back.

You can re-index the TB by taking them off and putting them back again in a slightly different position.

Typically, LWBs ride better than SWBs. Palaisipan nga yan.

I mean you can take it off and rotate it slightly then put it back in its socket. Para hindi masagad yung adjustment screw beside the tranny.

maki,
baka naman dubai version? iba kc ang rear suspension (leaf spring) front mas mataba ang torsion rod. kaya matigas ang ride dahil pang desert, heavy duty. Another possiblility is torsion rods and rear springs arent orig na, napalitan na nang after market like Blanks etc? Talagang mas malambot yung ride ng 5 dr. pasyal ka minsan sa shop para ma check natin
