Well, I did get a little concerned after watching back the video I took last week of the Land Rover trying to cross axle. I thought that the front axle was doing nothing at all, then I thought that it was not doing enough and perhaps being restricted by the damper or that the front springs where too stiff. I found last night that everything is okay. I was wrong, it’s actually all working perfectly.
I concluded in that video that everything is okay.
Tried to set up some cross axle action without leaving the garage.
Front wheel is 300 mm off the floor. I then went around and measured the gap from top of wheel to wheel arch.
Front Off Side 195 mm, Front Near Side 100 mm, Rear Near Side 220 mm and Rear off side 10 mm.
So from that we can deduce that the front wheels travel about 100 mm, so 50 mm droop and 50 mm compression and the rears are about double that at 100 mm droop and 100 mm compression.
