Jimny suspension questions

facade wrote: Check all the measurements to the manual, you may have a distorted chassis.

For a quick check measure the hub centres on each side to see if they are the same.

Between the hub centres on both sides the measure is 2265 mm.
At the front:
left: from the frame to the edge of tyre 475 mm
right: from the frame to the edge of tyre 465 mm
At the rear:
left and right from the frame to the edge of tyre 345 mm
note: i have spacers at the rims of 30mm and 215/80 r15 as tyres


sorry but my units is mm

Seems your front axle is 5mm out of centre: I wouldn't have thought that would make much difference though.

Did you have all 4 wheels alignment checked?
I was thinking you had a bent axle tube or twisted frame (Chassis), but with the hub centres spot on the same it doesn't look like the axle is bent.
You could still have a frame twisted along the axis of the car I suppose, or maybe a soft/cracked spring on one side, does it stand square on level ground?

Also check wheel bearings swivels and steering joints for play, and the condition of the rubbers in the leading (and trailing: sometimes it is the back axle that steers the car) arms.

When you brake, thefront suspension compress ... due to panhard bar, the axle moves slightly on one side (to the right if you jimny is left hand drive, to the left if your jimny is right hand drive) ... thus, the car tends to pull on one side ... the softer and taller are the suspension, the higher is the side effect, but also with stock car you can feel this.

Facade:"Did you have all 4 wheels alignment checked? "
Well...
The first thing i did was the wheels alignment checked, but they said that everything was ok. And i have the report, witch didn´t convinced me. because the measures they aren´t equal on both sides. Im loking the meaning of the words from portuguese to english. I think i can translate like this: front toe 0º28' front caster 0º1' rear toe 0º02' rear cater 0º10'
Facade:"...wheel bearings..." " ...rubbers..."
A couple months ago the right rear bearing "broke", i replace it just on that side maybe the left side has some wear and pules the car. but theres no sound or looseness.
Some of the rubbers shows signs of wear... i already order new ones to replace all including caster corrector.

To Cocopolo
I always thought that as to do with brake lines. Because my samurai didn´t had panhard bars. And on my jimny the brake lines they are very similar.
My car is left hand drive.

Once again thanks for the suport from all off you, helping figuring out this reaccion!:blink:
