Evilston3r Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I just wondering if anyone makes a jack up for the tl, I can't seem to find anything, or is this because of that dam rotary damper thing , cheers Quote Link to comment
TLRS Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 To be honest I've never seen anyone do it with the stock suspension. But the soas (spring on a stick) is fitted into a fork that can be adjusted. Maybe the arm on the rotary can be taken off and repositioned one teeth out, at a suitable position to match a raised soas. Or ditch the heavy, crude rotary. And fit something decent. Better make sure the cast stock rocker+bearing is in good shape or get a shock with a billet one. Another option is to replace the swingarm pivots. Though +1mm only nets you about 3mm at the wheel, which is probably a bit modest. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 yeah get rid of that silly suspension set up, (and check your frame for cracks) ive replaced 2 frames because of cracked frames but to be honest they could of been welded !!!!! Quote Link to comment

It's unlikely for a TLR frame to develop issues. Headstock nor rotary damper mount. Though the S frames, especially the older casting.. you're totally right! Quote Link to comment

I did 2 under warranty where the frame cracked at the rotary mount, Suzuki never wanted any warranty stuff back except the frame headstock !!!!!! I had to cut the headstock off both frames, bloody shame as the tiny crack in the mounts could of easily be welded and re-enforced Quote Link to comment

Cheers I was looking at removing that rotary thing, I know they do some type of mod that removes it but I'm a little unsure as I have never seen one up close or photos of one removed Quote Link to comment
