Hey Nav guys, my old man just bought his very basic 2-dr(4x2) Nav and he wants to put on some bigger tyres(will also want to change the rims too but not necessarily bigger ones though, he's not into 20" and 22" he just wants the bigger tyres look

), you guys have any suggestions or tips. This will be highly appreciated and all info will be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » May 30th, 2009, 10:26 am

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » June 1st, 2009, 9:19 am

just an update...

went in massy on friday and spoke to the service manager about the squeaking problem....i have an appointment for tomorrow for them to locktight...re-grease and check over entire suspension and all bolt on under carriage of vehicle....

they had similar problems with a couple in the past week....ill give an update tomorrow afternoon when i collect the vehicle.....

ray d saint · Postby **ray d saint** » June 1st, 2009, 9:55 am

^^ i will be curious to know the cost of that service, Aaron.

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » June 1st, 2009, 10:01 am

told its under warranty and it would be done for free....i carried in the van last couple months for a noise i was getting and it was done for free

Postby **Greypatch** » June 1st, 2009, 11:00 am

why dem checking the suspension..dais not the source of the problem...

ray d saint · Postby **ray d saint** » June 1st, 2009, 2:28 pm

^^ to give the average joe the impression is 'real wuck' involved but we know better, doh worry they will at least look at it....

ray d saint · Postby **ray d saint** » June 1st, 2009, 2:29 pm

Also the first thing ppl quick to say when they hear a complaint abt 'squeeking noises' is suspension...

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » June 1st, 2009, 2:43 pm

ray786, well i spoke to the service manager who i know personally.....
the fella at the desk was telling me some crap about i need to underwash @ least once a mth and that should fix the noise..then i asked for the manager

u c what i talkin about!! but is good u have a personal contact, that i found to be the only way to get exactly what u want done.

:wink:

okay just spoke to the service manager, the back squeaking noise is the spring insulators, that prevent the springs from meeting each other, and they have none in stock, so i have to wait 4-6 weeks for that to be changed...
the front noise is still being diagnosed.....

Postby **Greypatch** » June 2nd, 2009, 8:37 am

aaron

this is what ray had to say

Also the 'leaf springs' at the back and front end's between each 'lift' is a piece of 'plastic' i suggest you go in a machine shop, and get teflon ones made... you will need 4 for each side... and replace the plastic one the van came with, this will reduce/eliminate most of the suspension noise you may/may not be hearing...

The teflon should be tapered to one end, it should be a square, 3" x 2" tapered from abt 2" to one end, the non tapered end should be 5mm thick and the tapered end should be abt 3mm.

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » June 2nd, 2009, 9:13 am

yea i saw that....let massy change it since it under warranty lol...if the noise return ill do it then...

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » June 3rd, 2009, 7:04 am

Got back the truck last night....no noise up to this morning..lol...the service guy told me the noise may return until the insulators are changed and that should be in july sometime....if i could get a sample of what the insulators look like i would get them made outta teflon....

ray d saint · Postby **ray d saint** » June 4th, 2009, 9:18 am

^^ If you up in de east ne time give me a holla and i will direct you to the machine shop that made mine.

If you perfer to wait till the warranty is up, in the mean time as a 'quick fix' you can under wash and shock oil spray, however with the current amounts fo rain, i am not sure how long that will alleviate the noise.
