2008 triton rear stepping out

[glen2384]

i have a GLX-R and the back steps out on bumpy roads are there any quick fix's

[smeghead]

A couple of bags of cement in the tray would be the quickest fix

Get rid of the rear shocks. They're terrible for dirt.

glen2384,

when my triton was stock for the first few weeks the car was, in my opinion, downright dangerous on rougher dirt roads. ...or worse nice fast dirt roads when you hit a few bumps. there were a couple of occasions when one second you were spearing straight off to the part of the road you dont want to be on. Very difficult to drive.

since i have added my 80kg canopy (razorback) bull, rear and side bars it has dramatically settled the car in these circumstances to the point of probably being acceptable - just.

So smeg is probably right - try weight in the rear - easiest fix.

secondly run a slightly lower tyre pressure if you are consistently on dirt roads, particularly the rear.

Thirdly - better shock absorbers. Most people go the hole hog and change out the suspension.

just another characteristic of the car.

Shocks and run 32-34 psi.
