armoured version - suspension details??
Does anyone happen to know what components are used in the armoured versions??
Only info I 've been able to find is that there are "uprated air suspension and retuned dampers"
whatever that means....but the payload is increased!!! That is exactly what i'm looking for...
Cheers
some

Higher rated alloy wheels - 1250kg I think
RRS Front Lower arms - harder bushings, Larger ball pin ball joint.
More no doubt, but these are the things I have noticedPaul Redding

If you push them really hard you can make the wheels fall off.

Front Suspension - Front Suspension
Description and Operation
In comparison with the standard vehicle, the additional weight of the armour and consequently the change in vehicle geometry has dictated the following changes to the front suspension of the armoured vehicle:
new wheel knuckle
new upper and lower control arms
new stabilizer bar
new stabilizer bar links
modified air springs
modified dampers.
Although visually similar to the standard vehicle, changes have been made internally to the air springs and dampers:
The air springs incorporate a volume displacer which increases the spring rate in comparison to those fitted to the standard vehicle.
The dampers feature revised internal valves to complement the revised spring rates and vehicle weight.
Software changes have also been made to the air suspension control module to restrict the 'Off-Road' height setting.
The stabilizer bar features serviceable bushes, which are not bonded to the stabilizer bar. This allows the bushes to be replaced without removing the stabilizer bar from the vehicle. Clamp plates surrounding the bushes secure the stabilizer bar to the vehicle. Anti-shuffle collars are fitted to prevent lateral movement of the stabilizer bar.
Due to the additional weight of the armoured vehicle a reinforcement plate has been fitted to provide further rigid support to the right-hand-side clamp of the stabilizer bar.TLO has left the building.......
