The Dropped Dough Ball

[dubdubz]

I will get a pic for you of their postion. I pre loaded them before adjusting so that I got a perfect travel rate. I will need to do a cheeky tub of the arches tho as they do rub a small amount when cornering under full load. 8)

I've heard/seen this mentioned - can u elaborate plse Easy - as this could be some of my woes!

nice tub job...very similar to where I need to go -- no chassis notches [or already done?]

No probs dooder. It just means that you push up the spindles before tightening down the adjusters and then push up the adjuster and tighten. It means that its already under load before pushing the adjusters up. You can mess about with each adjuster, and say only do it on the top one and not the bottome etc, until you get the best ride, that suits you.

Myself and most of my mates do this and it works well, gives you more beans from everything. :mrgreen: Not very clear, but you get the idea

nope still confused :lol: so the angle on each trailing arm is different and the tightening of the balljoint nuts to their respected places created the preload?

any links or further pics or real ejeet explanation....... :lol:

i think this is what I have done as well....

basically the 2 adjusters on the beam are in different positions....
so the torsion leaves are working against each other rather than in harmony.... they are twisting at different tensions...

i had to take out one of the balljoints on each side and support the hub assembly so you can move the trailing arms independent of each other.....

meaning that if the bus was jacked up with the wheels and hub assemblies removed the top and bottom trailing arms would rest at different angles.... makes it a bit of a pain to get the hub assembly/balljoints back in place but can give a better/firmer ride.

kind of works as if you had a foksey adjuster in your beam.... top leaves are adjusted via the adjuster where as the bottom leaves are left in stock position.... i always had a better ride with my old beam and foksey.... but it just wouldnt go low enough....

hope that helps a bit?!?!
