Because the rear is relatively empty and designed to carry about 1 tonne of load, whilst the front is constantly loaded with the engine. Darren

Howdy
Heavy duty shocks all round should solve the issue if you want your vehicle level. Tom

How would the shocks affect ride height? The springs take care of that.

Yeah It's the most reliable vehicle we have had over the past 3 years including a 4 year old SAAB 95 & a Nissan Terranno
 It's so simple, very little to go wrong, a better vehicle of the time than the TDCi. I would like to keep hold of her, kids think she's great on the school run. I was given the Nissan by the way - hated it, thankfully it died properly after the lift pump or something went - Jap stuff too expensive to fix, disposeable cars! |
