I have a 4WD Townace with 'TEMS' suspension. On cornering the vehicle seems to roll easily (excessively ?) up to a certain angle and then quickly stiffen up.

Is this normal?

Are all 4WD vehicles fitted with TEMS

Does a 4WD vehicle (with more ground clearance than a 2WD) roll a lot more than a 2wd vehicle?

Has anyone 'rolled' a Townace?

Thanks

Pretty normal but your shocks could be on the way out,
No not all 4WD have TEMS,
Doubtful, similar suspension geometry,
Not yet but there's always a first time.

At the Brean ace jam it was mentioned that if the speedo cable has a gearbox to alter the speed shown as miles not kilometres, then this can affect the operation of the tems. I also noticed that one van with the tems decal on the tailgate actually had no tems, so its worth checking. The obvious indication is the tems indicators on the speedo face, and the motors fitted to the top of the struts.
