Aren’t you suppose to tighten shock bottom bolt with weight on it so doesn’t wreck bush ?

The bottom of these shocks have a spherical bearing that actually rotates with the movement of the suspension so it does not matter if the vehicle is on the ground or in the air. If your shock has a rubber bush, then yes.👍

@@JafffaAdventures ah gotcha. So what did arb say about the failure ? I would have tried to get them to pay for the whole lot. Warranty doesn’t mean much Has to be fit for purpose
@JafffaAdventuresКүн бұрын
ARB were silent on the failure, just said they would replace them. I got a $2000 set of suspension for nix after mine did 150,000km at 7 1/2 years old. That is a sensational outcome, and pushing for the rears is just having a lend in my opinion. They exceeded my expectations, and that is all I can ask. The reason I did not have ARB install it is trust. I do not trust ARB or ANY OTHER WORKSHOP to work on my vehicle. I spend a lot of time off grid, in very remote locations where I rely on my vehicle to get me back out again. If something goes wrong because of an installation issue, it's on me and me alone. I know my work, I trust my work, and I back myself, plain and simple. Cheers.

I had a top control arm failure. The nut came lose & the suspension let loose & ripped a Buch of pipes off the engine on my 300 series on Stockton beach. I made it off the beach & into the dunes before it completely died. I had the vehicle recovered from the dunes & dropped off at my Sydney ARB dealer. They repaired the car including having everything checked by Toyota & paid the considerable recovery costs. I was a bit pissed that the thing failed but I cant fault ARB for their customer service in rectifying the problems. I have since had a base rack & rear bar fitted by ARB. I will continue to use them.

G'day mate, great video. I am currently researching a 2" suspension lift with adjustable ride shock mainly to mitigate damage from corrugations as well as comfort and then adjust back to daily driver setting when back on bitumen. What were the reasons for choosing the BP51's, in terms of use case, shock type and brand? Thanks in advance for an information.
@JafffaAdventures2 күн бұрын
I loved the ride they deliver mate. I use the car mainly off road and it eats rough corrugations and the like up with ease. Believe it or not, the on road handling is much better than stock as well, it really is a great all around product. I do not change the settings for on and off road, just leave them where they are for both use cases. If I need extra weight carrying capacity like when I am fully loaded before a trip, I just pump up the air bags. That’s the reason I replaced them with the same again. Cheers👍😎

Considering your experience with the transmission oil after the previous owner of your 200 towed a caravan, would you recommend not buying a second had 200 having over 150k on the clock and had been used for towing ? I guess the size/type of the van would need to be considered.

The biggest influence is how you drive it. Using S mode and shifting manually can save a lot of torque converter slip and therefore high fluid temps. I would be questioning the dude who owned it beforehand. If he says, ya mate drop it in drive and go for gold, that tells me he probably does not have a lot of mechanical sympathy. Cheers😎👍
