Speedhumps

[Steve]

Something has to be done about traffic humps? Has anyone had any problems with their tyres or suspension?

Some of these are really dangerous or annoying for homeowners living near one. I used to live near a speed hump and got fed up with hearing cars going over these and cars undersides being scraped. The whole neighbourhood is plagued with the !Removed! things!

The one at the entrance to our street is like mounting a kerb head-on, thinking it's done my lower ball-joints as I have a distinct knock lately !!! :angry:

I must be lucky as we dont have any! but we do have right of way chicanes which are fine.

[Steve]

I hate the chicanes too.. i have had right abuse from idiots on them, you arrive at the chicane first, no one there, as soon as you move out around the chicane some idiot speeds round the corner and giving you the hand signals because you are in his right of way.. stupid idea.

Should be first at the chicane has right of way

Hi Everyone.About speedbump's.I have to ride over about ten of the little sods every morning to work. :angry: The first two years on the trot.I had to have all the bushers replace or at least one ball joint or track rod end because i just drove over them like normal.Then when having to pay for a new set second time around i started to slow down.Arter five years now slowing down for them,ive not had any bushers fitted or ball joints. :D So just pay notice that there there to slow you down to make it safe for the surounding area.If not then you will be spending your hard earnings. :angry: At worse a new cat. :( Good luck and be careful :) :) :)

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

But some are just too high, or have a steeper initial gradient ! :angry:

[Steve]

i used to have a 4x4 and found that the faster you went the less I felt the bump.. so used to hammer over em LOL

it's no wonder people are buying more big 4x4's

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Hmmm Might get another Shogun :rolleyes:

[Turbo]

my Frontera used to eat speed humps.

[Langdonfairchild]

Well your right there turbo.If you don't want to slow down for them.Then 4x4 is the way to go. :)
