Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

After 130 000 km on the clock on my 2006 Gen 3 GLX I experienced problems with the camber. I was advised to fit new springs and shocks so I decided to install Oldman EMU. Got an astonishing 70 mm lift in front (due to partial collapsed coils) and 50 mm at the rear.

The problem now is that the vehicle measures about 15 mm higher in the front than the rear (was the other way around before the upgrade). Light settings and everything is effected.

Must I go for the higher rating shocks at the back to get more lift?

I would appreciate advice and/or some measurements from a standard GLX?

Thanks in advance

Shocks don't give lift, they only dampen wheel movement.

You say you had "camber problems", I assume the rear wheels had a big negative camber. If that was the case, why don't you have the camber set (it is adjustable on your car). If you pull the camber up, it will also lift the rear quite a bit.

Alternatively. fit a winch on the front. That should level it nicely.

Best solution by a country mile!
