Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ive got a gq wagon and when i drive a steep hill it wants to torque the front pasenger side wheel off the ground. im just wondering if this is normal and is there any thing i can do to stop it.

lockers

ours does it so does my brothers inlaws but any others i dnt see do it ours are rb30's might be a weight thing

yer some times it helps

some time?
lockers help all the time

sucks wen they over help lol

a front might help, but a rear will only make things worse.
but the weight thing make makes sence

mine does that on the street lol

bitoff topi but lockrs can make things harder if not used correctly, i was doing landrover hill at roverpark (scraping on pumpkin) and was turning the corner to go over the rock ledge. But was struggling ..kept excesively spinning and puulling me in the wrong direction...switched it off and drove the corner without a hassle..re-engaed it again to climb th rock face.

i was going to say the same thing bru.

never had much of an issue offroad tho. unless i try to do it

Drive a shorty and you'll do it everywhere.

Its due to torque reaction from the motor, combined with patrols lower roll stiffness in the rear and biased front to rear travel. As the weight moves to the rear (climbing), and you apply the right boot, the torque from the motor tries to turn the chassis opposit to the driveshaft dirrrection (if you want to see what i mean get an auto can and watch the motor lurch to the left when its stalled up). Because of the inboard rear springs (compared to the outboard front springs) and the greater force on the rear suspension due to weight transfer, the front passenger will lift. It can be changed with different suspension link geometry, as well as correcting the roll stiffness issue. Lockers will lessen the effect as they allow smoother lower reving driving, and better traction.


Layto....

i lifted my front wheel today actually the whole front lifted but felt loss of steering for a sec while taking off to merge into traffic

Also could be because RB30 Dattos dont have a front stabiliser as standard....well mine doesnt anyhow.

Thats what you get driving a 9 Seat car with rear wheel drive, Toyota Taragos pop them front left wheel as well, crazy stuff

Are toyota tarago's transverse motors? If so they wont lift eh LHF wheel as there is no torque twist through the chassis from the driveline.

Layto....

i thought the were front wheel drives

RWD longitudinal engine laying on its side

is this for the 07 my mates spins front wheels (tarago)
