I eased the BJ8 out of winter hibernation a few days back and during a short test drive I was reminded of my concerns relating to the general handling.
When end driving in a straight line, I turned the wheel from left to right to induce a number of smooth swerves. As if driving through a line of traffic cones.
The car wallowed to some extent, particularly at the rear end.
obviously it's impossible to get across the exact handling characteristics of my particular car, but I wondered if all 3000's were like this? And if there were any easy improvements that might improve things?
I'm not interested in anything as drastic as tele Shock conversions, but would unrated dampers help any or maybe it would have to be the springs? It's only the rear that feels in need of improvement, the front is far stiffer. ( springs were refurbed last year along with the dampers)
