Pattaya Dave Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am purchasing a Toyota Vigo Double Cab 4x4 on Wednesday. I've heard that the rearend Toyota Vigo trucks tend to get a little loose when driving over rough surfaces, potholes and such and under hard breaking. I met someone today who had installed Rancho RS9000X Shock Absorbers on the rear of his Toyota Vigo and he claims that the ride is much improved and the rear end of the truck stays put with no lateral movement and providing a much more stable ride. I would like to hear from anyone who has had any experience with these shocks installed on their Vigo's whether positive or negative. Also, any other suggestions on how to improve ride and stability of the Toyota Vigo? I have also heard that rear anti-sway bars can be installed on the Vigo and will enhance stability. What do you think? Where can I get an anti-sway bar installed for my Vigo in Pattaya? Thanks, Pattaya Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya Dave Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Has nobody out there upgraded the shock absorbers on their Vigo's? By accident I ran into two Vigo owners in Pattaya who both expressed improvements in both ride and stability of their Vigo's. I would like to her from others.

Berty Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 There's nothing wrong with the stock shocks you'll get with your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTR1000 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I have to go with Berty. I have a 3.0L 4x4 Vigo (2yrs) and only time I had a problem was toeing it out of a little roundabout when the back end came out a few feet. My fault totally. Standard fitting seems fine to me. Fitted Munroes on a Tiger a while ago with very little difference. They are pick ups after all and with such a light back end, they are not going to, nor were they designed to act like a saloon car.

mikethevigoman Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 There's nothing wrong with the stock shocks you'll get with your truck.There is nothing wrong with the stock stereo either, but you can improve on it, as you can the suspension, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
