Default Re: suspension issues with a BFIII wagon.

Hi Raptor, shocks are good and tyre pressures are ok too. Tread wear is even across the face of the tyre but because the rear is stiffer than the front the nose dips into the corner but the stiff rear wont let the body roll at the rear so the tyre side wall is having to compensate thus scrubbing away at the shoulder. Unlike the steer tyre though, it's only taking the very edge of the shoulder, maybe less than 10mm; just the tread that rolls around to the side wall, where the steers take rubber evenly from the side tread all the way to the face of the tyre, if that makes sense.
Ride height front to rear is maybe 2" difference, 3 at most, not unlike our old AU wagon when it was unloaded with no weight in it. The difference with this thing is, you load up the rear and the blooody thing is still 2 inches higher than the front... but does lean a bit better with the weight and feels more stable.
