Title: To bumpy, No comfort- shockabsorbers or what?
Post by: rushaburee on October 16, 2003, 12:32:16 AM
???
Need help. I recently bought a Suzuki, 4x4, 5-door model 1993. I drove it first time and it was too too bumpy and very uncomfortable. I was advised to replace shock absorbers and I did that and put in MONROE shocks. But there was a very very small improvement than I expected. It is still very bumpy just at every small stone. I love my Zuki especially fior fuel consumption and small size. I badly need help on how to improve its comfort. I know it may not be like my former Toyota corolla but at least close. I need help before it breaks my back or I break its body.

Thanks so much

Is it a Sammy or Sidekick? Is it lifted or stock suspension? How much air pressure are you running in the tires?

It is a Suzuki Escudo, stock suspension. The air pressure, I i have tyres of 15x205x70R and I put infront 35, and behind (rear tyres) 40.  Is this too much? or it ok. How about you with tyre pressure and your tyre size???

WAY too much tire pressure. The radials I'm running are nice at 20-25 psi and are terrible at 30 psi and higher. I'd suggest adjusting tire pressure. Make sure and pay close attention to tire wear after you do this to prevent ruining your tires.

Good Luck, Eric
