New B4s

[sidepod]

So given that the van was starting to feel a bit wobbly over big bumps, I put a new set of Billies on yesterday. Just standard B4 units, no need for anything silly like adjustables etc.

When I took the old ones off each corner it seemed they weren’t that bad, given the amount of force required to compress then.

Anyway a quick road test confirmed night and day.

The two things that stood out was a big reduction in road noise and low speed damping, these two being a function of the rubber bushing top and bottom of each damper.
Overall a greatly improved ride.

So, even if the damper units themselves are ok the bushings may well be perished/worn.
Big result for £200 and an hours work.

Thinking to do the same. Are you still happy with the B4's?
Anything special to order for the Cali or just the standard T4 suggested model?
Cheers!
