rontorr
+1y
I live in Thailand and have a Thai B 2500 Diesel. They call it a 1 ton because they are used by farmers who really overload them so they have a heavy duty suspension. I was in an accident a few months ago, hit a berm sliding sideways and backwards while avoiding an unobservant driver. The shop did'nt do too bad putting the new parts on and repairing the old, but things are out of adjustment. I am just getting to the point where I can go out and start crawling under it. I think I figured out from some other posts how to adjust the torsion bars so the top of the right tire doesn't lean out so much(too much positive camber), which I guess would take care of the 1/2" higher right fender, and maybe smooth out the ride a little, and maybe take out that really thick short leaf spring on the bottom at the rearto make the ride smoother on these rough roads. I can't lower more than an inch or so because of what passes for roads out in the country where I live which is why I bought my first truck, for ground clearance, (had a couple of em, really like em) instead of the 626 I really wanted.
I sometimes hear a loud pop from the left front suspension when I go over a large bump at low speed (less than 10 mph)
Now the steering. I built an oval track to turn around in my wife's garden based on my about 37 foot turning circle, being a NASCAR kinda guy I like to turn left on an oval, but the first time I went out there I almost knocked down the fence. I musta had a 50 foot circle to the left, but about 34 to the right, took it back for them to fix and now I have about 38 feet turning right, and about 42 when I turn left, and I am tired of always having to back up to turn around.
The frame was straightened supposedly to stock specs, but won't know the real truth till I get the torsion bars adjusted evenly. and measure frame to ground in a few spots.
kinda long, but I thought maybe one post was better than several any suggestions will be much appreciated
