Causes of a Matagtag Ride

**amacatan** · January 9th, 2003 09:38 AM

tanong ko lang kung bakit mas matagtag yung revo ng nanay ko kaysa sa revo ko? may kinalaman kaya sa gulong? yung revo ng nanay ko e glx 2001 (with mag wheels and 195R14 tires). yung sakin naman e gl 2000 (with aluminum wheels and 185R14 tires). ano kaya sa tingin nyo? kaya kasi revo ulit ang pinili ng nanay ko kasi sabi ko nga na hindi ito matagtag compared with adventure or crosswind. mukhang napahiya ata ako :oops:

pre na check mo ba tire pressure?.. pag overinflated kasi may tendency na maging matagtag.

cliffjumper,

yup! na-check ko na yung tire pressure. actually, mas mataas pa nga yung tire pressure nung revo ko pero mas matagtag pa rin yung sa nanay ko.

partly lang. but there are other factors like weight, yung suspension, yung klase ng shocks, etc.

generally, i think auv's are really matagtag dahil medyo stiff suspension nyan eh dahil sa expected gross capacity load nya, so as kung puno ang load stable yung suspension nya and di na matagtag, while kung hindi loaded (example: 2-3 persons only) eh talagang matagtag. imho lang.

check the tire pressure, bro. baka mas mataas yung sa mom mo.

also, check the # of ply on your tires vs. those on your mom's tires. mas matagtag din kung mas maraming ply coz mas mataas na pati yung capability mo sa kargahan.

why not have it checked sa toyota?... hindi ganun kalaki ang contribution ng tires to a stiff ride compared to the suspension

second hand nyo ba nabili revo? better na pa check nyo suspension sa casa.

thanks for all your replies. i think the best option is to have the suspension checked sa casa, as jaspi11 recommended :mrgreen:

Alam ko parehas lang suspension ng Revo GL at GLX. Iba-iba rin kasi ang gawa ng tires, so baka yung brand nung sa nanay mo di masyadong ok. Check nyo na rin ang tire pressure saka alignment ng kotse.

thanks squala! just a quick question, aside from the tires and the suspension, pwede rin kaya na may kinalaman dahil naka-mags yung sa nanay ko tapos yung sakin e naka alum wheels lang? :?:
