HANDLING AND STEERING ISSUES:

I experienced it again... i was driving around 90 kph and hit bumpy section of the road, i almost LOST CONTROL when the vehicle swayed and almost as if it change course when it hit the uneven surface.

I feel the the steering wheel vibrates too much especially on rough roads, makes me think my former strada 2001 is far better on rough roads. the steering is also unstable, meaning it moves left right left right on rough roads. unlike with our other rides that the front wheels and the steering seems so planted and stable...

does anybody noticed this or is this someting wrong with my unit?

please, i need your feedback.

Try not to drive that fast on small Philippine highways because our roads are very unpredictable.

The problem with rack and pinion steering is you kinda feel road input more. It gives much more precise handling on pavement, but in rough terrain, there's more feedback from the road, so more vibrations to your steering wheel, making you feel some sort of instability.

I experience this too on rough roads so I would think it's normal and have accepted one of my ride's limitations. I've learned to adjust, ika nga.

My everest, on the other hand, has the recirculating ball type and it gives much less feedback from the road, therefore less vibration to the steering wheel. Makes me drive more recklessly on rough roads. But the steering feel on pavement is little vague.

I guess you can't have it all.

Try to check also your tire pressure.

Better yet, upgrade to thicker tires. More rubber planted, more stable.

If not yet satisfied, then there's OME.

Partz: nice truck... but please give us feedback on your rollerup lid....everyone wants to know if its leak proof. thanks...

before I changed my shocks its unstable, I change my rear shock w/ gas type that only cost 2000 pesos kayaba. medyo matagtag at first but now its ok na after a month. I was planning to changed the front shocks also but wala pa after market. since this was the first strada w/ coil sping.

[eslonblue]

eslonblue,

Bro, nice color of mags. Palitan mo na yung tires mo. Numipis pa lalo tingnan yung tires kasi lumapad yung mags. Try to consider Cooper ATR tires, U.S. made. They're about 10-15% cheaper than the popular brands and they're excellent tires. You can buy them at Ryco Marketing in Makati, tel. no. 8161508. Google Cooper tires so you can have an idea what they look like.

thanks drave.. ill try to call them tom.. kung kaya pa ng budjet baka i consider ko din mag palit.. ng hihinayang ako bago pa kasi yung goma ko, sayang..

Ewan ko lang sa kidapawan at davao pero dito sa cagayan de oro meron ata sa bolt center sa osmena.

naku sorry po di ko po alam ang tel no nila..
yung address naman, nasa osmena st. di ko rin alam ang exact address eh hehe basta straight kalang galing sa traffic light, makikita mo ang chery then straight pa, you'll see truckers(auto parts surplus shop.) then in that building, nanjan ang bolt center. makikita mo ang sign nila na "Bolt Center" then yun na yun. but im not that sure kung meron silang bolt para sa wheel. pero kung mapapadpad ka sa cdo, daanan mo nalang kasi yung erpat ko kung may kailangan na bolt para sa kotse namin, dun sya pumupunta.

[nismo26]
