does FL suspension work the same?

This may seem like a daft question ,and I can't think of how to word it, but does the suspension on a freelander 1 work the same as on other landrovers?
As in like this-http://image.fourwheeler.com/f/16076039+w660+re0/131_0907_05_z%2Bjuly_2009_4x4_trucks%2B1985_land_rover.jpg or do you need to modify suspension system?

That make sense

no , it hasn't got a live axle like the one in the picture shows , on the hippo it's all independent

this may help

Thanks Stuart but no it doesn't help
I'm not very mechanicaly minded so didn't understand most of that! Thanks for trying to help a simpleton though :monitor_punch:

no probs

the landy on the pic has a beam or live axle, so it also moves up and down

both wheels are fixed to that axle , so both wheels move together

the springs and dampers are bolted onto that one axle

the freelander has independent suspension, the axle doesn't move because it hasn't got one, each wheel is controlled independent of one another , so they move up and down on there own

as the wheels are independent of one another there is a better chance they can grip, opposed to the fender where one wheel can be up and one down , meaning a wheel could be up in the air and not touching the ground



hope that makes abit of sense, lol

Cool that's much more helpful cheers :tea:
