ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

Hi all

Just wanted to ask if anyone with an Activ (mine is 2012) has a huge amount of body roll? Or is it a Lancer thing in general? Most notable on roundabouts, even slowing to 30/40km/h they seem to get thrown against the door or head my way. Going around corners seems to be the same. It's even notable on getting into the car. I've come from a corolla so not sure if its just me noticing the 'pitch' or it has been an issue for anyone else?

Is it something I should discuss with the dealer or look at the shocks/struts or something?

Thanks!

Sorry, 'they' being passengers...

Yeh I get it too...lol (ES)

its pretty annoying lol...sometimes feels like the tyres are going to buckle underneath the car!

Or you are accused of going around a corner too fast before they realise that in fact you weren't ....because they get pushed into the door or whatever.

Upper strut bar, rear sway bar will go a long way to reducing this

Happens with all the lancers I presume, well it happened to me until I got coilovers.

i noticed that when i put my 18's on it helped abit as well

i have put a upper strut bar and rear sway bar in my 2012 sx lancer and it made a massive difference alot less body roll and handles so much better i can fly through roundabouts now and not feel like im pushed up against my door.

there is plenty of topics on here about sway bars and suspension in general they be able to guide you in the path you want to go to stop your body roll issues

Sorry I have the same result. I think it normal. Our cars do have pretty soft suspension, to make the ride smooth. But this does some with a bad side too Massive Body Roll. Stiffing up our ride with coilovers front strut bar, rear sway bar. Will have to say that's the way to go

Definitely sway bars would be a very cost effective modification to reduce it.

And yes, body roll is normal on stock Lancers... so boaty.

"Boaty"!!!! YES! Perfect word lol no joke

Yes, it's normal. I was captaining the SS Lancer when everything was stock; but low profile tyres and lowered suspension did help it a bit. But a strut brace and rear sway bar are what you should be looking at to fix the body roll.

now where have i heard lancers being described as boaty before?

oh yeah
