Measurement - rear wheel to fender 2005+

Post by AndriesS »

I need to build the brake bias adapter but need to know what the difference is between my actual lift and the standard suspension Patrol. Could someone with a standard suspension please measure the distance between the center of the wheel and the fender .

Thanks

The standard measurment is normally from the bottom of the rim to fender - but my Patrol is not standard because I got the 2" lift.

Hi Tinus,
Ek dink dit sal help, ek kan nie dink dat dit meer as 10mm of iets sal verskil nie. Dankie

It's a simple device that based on the difference in in length between the body and the axle will change the brake force on the rear wheels. When loaded the length is shorter and this valve then allows the rear brakes to brake more. So when we lift the car we changes the length and ideally we should return the setting to the original position. that's why lifted car are so easy on rear brakes _ they do not use them properly

Andries/Tinus

Measure from top of axle tube to rear bump stop. We know those points haven't changed! :mytwocents:

You could also use spring length.
