GX550 Overtrail Vibration

[incognito.gx]

I took a test drive in the OT here in Sydney and I could certainly notice the vibrations in the rear on the main road, their excuse was that’s what a body on frame vehicle feels like. I have driven plenty over the years and they have not felt this bad. It was not as bad as a previous post where the water was bouncing all over the place. I pick my new OT up on the 6th Dec, fingers crossed that does not have the vibration issues. Pics of the test drive car attached just for interest and no Sydney does not usually look this overcast! .

They let you test drive an OT!? I had to test a Lux+ :/

They had both so I got to choose.

In my case the vibration/shaking was bad enough to make the passenger seat shake very bad. I could be riding along nice and smooth, hit a bump and it would begin shaking. I just installed a Westcott leveling kit and it has almost done away with the shake. It is still there but 90% better. It makes me think the now stiffer spring is over riding the bad valve settings/computer in the shocks to some extent. Just a guess.

Would love to see a pic of your spacer lifted GX if it's not to much trouble...
