Suspension
System
Make a great suspension system
even better
Whilst there is no doubt
that the new fully independent suspension on the Pajero is brilliant in terms
of handling and performance everything can be improved upon. The independent
suspension gives better wheel travel than previous models and even though
ground clearance is pretty good we wanted a little more. In conjunction with
Pedders suspension we now have a spring that gives a slightly firmer ride
with 50mm increased clearance.This combination still retains the excellent
comfort this vehicle gives but with the extra clearance that really helps
in off road situations. We have now successfully trialled a set of Bilstein
shock absorbers to go with this system. Whilst they are a little more expensive
than some other brands this prestigious European brand matches beautifully
on this vehicle. The handling is now crisp and tight with very little roll.
Braking is improved tremendously and the ride is excellent.
If you carry loads you need
Polyair Springs
For carrying loads you
can always fit very heavy duty springs but this compromises ride quality
when empty. The solution is Polyair springs where you can adjust the air
pressure in the spring to suit the many varied load weights that may be carried
in a vehicle. If you are towing these springs can compensate for towball
weight of the trailer. A vehicle that sits evenly on the road will handle
and stop better plus will be easier to drive reducing driver fatigue and
improving safety. Each spring has a separate valve ( the same as a tyre valve)so
you can even compensate for different weights from side to side on the vehicle
.
