sup pplz recently bought a tbw frontier. One issue i've noticed is that it bounces alot. Any advice on stoppin or min this? Will put up pix soon.

are the tires worn?
did you check the pressure to see if it's ideal or too hard?

tires kind of worn. Good pressure but i've heard of these vans bouncin at high speeds. Anything can be done to rectify? Its the body bouncing up and down like i on the cyat going bago on rough seas

..sell it. further more, you knew it bounced like a ball and bought it anyway.....

Dred all my friends who have/had frontiers they could tell you about that , you going down the highway smooth road ( well our version of smooth road) and the front just bouncing up and down .

I think that thats just how the front suspension is , the front of the van heavy and the shocks just not firm enough , that van need a complete suspension haulover in my opinion.

do you need a hug meng?

Sell it.

simply buy a Hilux!

use 265 or 275 tires instead of the stock 255....

tyres have nothing to do with it. The suspension was set up for comfort off-road, so there's a lot of travel and it's very soft. If you do a lot of offroading I'd suggest leaving everything alone and just cool it with the speed on the highway. If you rarely go offroad, then you could switch out the springs for stiffer ones which would reduce or eliminate the bouncing.

who says?

when i used 265 and 275, the front end felt much better as compared to when it had the 255...

nothing of a BIG change, but yes it reduced the bounce.

^^ how would using a wider tyre width (a horizontal differentiation, with nothing to do with suspension) reduce suspension bounce (a vertical action directly caused by suspension setup, and more specifically spring/damper rates)???

The only thing you would experience with wider tyres is more grip, less speed since there'll be more drag and rotational weight, plus added wear to the ball-joints and steering ends. It's not a solution to bouncy suspension

The 3.0TD doesnt come with 275 tyres stock?

damieG82, well, it felt less bouncy to me and 1 or 2 other people i talked to who used bigger tires.

biggy82, yuh right yes, this topic sucks... beaten out more than a whore.

bleedingfreak, all the AX grades come wih 255/70/16 Bridgestone Dueler 840 from the firm.

rollin on 275-70-16 and i dont find the ride is bouncy... and yes the width of the tyre affects the height, ie a 275-70 is higher than a 265-70 (depends on brand too)

only part of the highway where the ride is bouncy is the new part after tech/costatt an u all kno that part of the highway worse than the rest

an ppl buy what they can afford so doh tell me sell it

Sell this thing and buy a ranger

^ i couldn't have said it better....

Svik are you wagon r's alternate account?

thanks for the advice fellahs. Will try tires and the bar. Will see how that goes. Bigg how does the navara run?

very well thanks....come ah diesel run and you will see first hand

i will have to do that. I was watching the moruga run. Soundin like some good fun.

did they sort out the bouncing with the D40 ?

Greypatch, yeah pretty much. its alot more stable. very little alignment issues as well

pretty much...like it still have some issues..

how does it compare to the lux or ranger ?
