ours wonders quite a bit too. I always just thought it was a Pajero thing. Even a wheel alignment only helped a little bit.

Will be interesting to see what the 2.5 tows like.

mines on AT's and is LWB... I mean, it could just be like that, it isn't a car after all but it is a bit floaty on the motorway... more than it should be I think/should probably just harden up/will do an alignment and see if it helps:)

Does it have the factory suspension dampening switch? (Soft,Medium,Hard).

My mothers old one had this and when on M or S it was all over the place on the open road.

Yeah, does, seems marginally better with it set to H, still pretty average... hmm perhaps alignment is waste of cash, tyres all seem to be wearing evenly and whatnot... gah, silly cars

Should tow OK I hope, will find out when I get around to swapping diffs in the Lada

mine rolls .4 degree of positive camber as per their factory spec. want to change it to about half a degree negative. reckon that'll help loads.

Went bush with the 2 kids and the Mrs for the first time, wasn't hard out, but was good fun. 4wding part was pretty easy, scratchy, but its not a shiny. 1 very small dent from roof line leaning to close to a tree. All in all a bit of fun. And the mrs didnt mind so bring on more bush trips. I slept in my hammock and the mrs and two kids slept in the wagon. Im sure some will recognize the spot. Its only really used by 4wders and hunters.

Officially started up my Shave for a Cure page and made it to $500 in the first day, pretty surprised...

just to make it lada complicated replacement front diff will prob have different ratio cos mine are odd ratios being a 5 speed 1700.

Yours will probably have 3.9 ratio diffs, you should fit 4.1 or 4.3 ratio diffs in.

The early Niva came out with 4.3 and is rare now, most common is 4.1.
