(Home) Liteace suspension

Hi all
Have just brought an H reg Lite Ace 2 litre Turbo diesel with TEMS. The suspension ride seems very bumpy
and hard, the TEMS lights on the dash change from hard to soft as though its working all right, are the liteAces like this or is there a possible problem
many thanks
Jon

They are bumpy, you sit over the front wheels so get rocked a lot. TEMS may help on corners, not a lot of help on the straight except under breaking.
Compare the ride to a see saw, Lite Ace or whatever at the ends, regular saloon in the middle, get the picture?
Have you had a test drive in another one to compare rides?

You could play with the tyre pressures a little.....

Grease the front suspension ....

What tyres do you have?
If they are van tyres then it could be a bit bouncy

Archive short cut on Ace Answers page
Transmission etc on left hand side
then Suspension Steering.
This opens quite a few comments ideas on TEMS, set up and tyre pressures.
