P38A Wallowing ride..

Hi All
Had passengers in the back of The Orville last week and they complained about it being really rolling about in the back.
My EAS seems to work fine, tyre pressures we're up ok, but it's probably original shocks and bushes, anyone else had this issue and will new bushes/ shocks make a difference.? I've got no knocking or leaky shocks.

Shocks certainly will.

Same an mine..

Shockers were the culprit.

BOGE are OEM and preferred if you can find a set..

That or Bilsteins..

Stick with standard.?
Never really been a fan of super krypton, argon, hydrogen filled etc etc

Just looking them up, seems gas is the way.
Monroe's, pair, £90. Seems fair to me.

You can remove them and compare the resistance between the two.
I could never find a full set of matching units. Only bearmach or tïtsfart??

Just seen some "oil filled, cellular dynamic" and they're pink.!

Googling it now..

Sounds like a posh way of saying "standard but in pink"

OEM shocks are good enough no need for fancy stuff.

I quite fancy some oem for my next set, after seeing how plush Datatek's 38' was and supple.

OE shocks are designed with a 25% compression resistance and a 75% return resistance. In other words they are designed to work with air suspension. Many may not be.

I agree with you there Tony, that's possibly a good reason why the ride is ruined by none compatible shocks with different behavioral patterns as you say different compression and return rates.

As is said BOGE are what were fitted from factory..

Monroe's are a bit harsh on the P38 IMO

I can never find a full set of boge when I look.

It can be a pain to find them unfortunately.

Bilsteins are another good set

Any idea what the stats are on them compared to Boge?

No idea.

I just know they work

I think the oil burner is a bit more bouncy.
