Hi John
Those photos are of the suspension after the drop arm had cracked, so that huge camber on the wheel is not normal.
I have posted this next photo of the clearance under the spring pack on the side which is undamaged.
Yes it was as per this photo when delivered (although more tyre pressure), I did mention that it looked low, but hey, they say they are the experts, so I trusted them.
It was only when the crack happened, that a certified engineer, told me that the 100mm drop arm, on the suspension, was not really suitable for off road application.
Untill then I knew nothing of the drop arm, which had lowered the vans clearance by 100mm,
I have since drawn it to BTis attention, that it is not fit for purpose and have been told that "my allegations are totally false and misrepresentative, the wheel moves the drop up and down... " That is true on a hard surface, but not on soft surfaces.
So what do you do ?
just put a sign on the back, CAUTION FREQUENT BOGGING
Cheers Ken
