soft rear suspension - rd070707 - 10-10-2012

hi guys just bought myself a 2000 hdi there sitting standard height. there was absolutely no creaking or noises from the suspension and no noticeable rear camber.

my question is she just seems very soft at the back, if you just push it down theres massive movement in it and the wheels almost move.

any ideas if theres anything wrong or if its normal?

cheers guys

i only bought it today lol have no idea. tbh i was convince beam wise it was okay cause theres no camber or noises from it, just not sure if its normal

UUUMMM litraly the only thing i can think of is that the ARB has been put back in pissed up. im not going to explain why as it wont make any sence if youv never had the beam apart.

check the beam mounts is my only other suggestion

Or maybe lesser spec shocks been fitted at some point, check part no's

They are pretty damned soft at the rear - there's not much weight back there.
