Rear shocks

Post by henrym3 » Fri Nov 10, 2017 9:31 pm

Having talked about the weight of a towbar elsewhere it reminded me that when we were away a few weeks ago and the X was loaded up (wife brought her handbag along) the x felt quite soft at the rear in comparison to when I'm in it alone, which is probably most of the time. At 140k have the rear shocks seen better days,
