w.t.k. frontier suspension

[dj kev]

year 2nrs, how could the frontier suspension be upgraded, for a better ride and handling quality.
would lowering help???

[wagon r]

....er......no. but yuh sell it and buy something else.



seriously......i admire you guys with that "boat ride" front suspension. not too sure droppin it will help.....after all, wasn't the purpose of buyin a 4x4 for height (unless yuh have the 4x2)....??

[Greypatch]

hoss the ride is over stated is ah van after all...no boat ride

[equipped2ripp]

Greypatch, yuh know

[wagon r]

that eh true.....i have driven various vans and a frontier front suspension is the softest.........just watch any frontier go down the h/way vs any other van and you'll see the difference.

true van suspension isn't a car suspension but i find nissan was a big let down in that dept.

[Greypatch]

a lowered suspension helps...it reduces the up and down movement a lot

de ride much better in de Navara....and de alignment issues were sorted out as well

u carry coil spring all round and no torsion bar ent biggy

[cacasplat3]

wont dampers with a higher damping force reduce the resonating movement????

thats a basic fix....if u could find dampers that will work........

[Greypatch]

or just lower it

I don't have this problem with my 06 Ranger.The Rangers are supposed to be much better suspension wise.
