Has anyone heard of a way to beef up the TX2 rear suspension, when I have 3 people on the back seat any kind of bump on the road and there is a huge bang like the car bottoming out any ideas would be great. |

Did LTI forget that taxis are supposed to carry people? No wonder our car industry was a joke. |

It also depends what year tx2 think they changed rear suspension over on 2006 onwards.You need to get it looked at as it could be one of a few things,as simple as exhaust catching on subframe. |

If the TX2 suspension is the same as the Fairway which I think it is, the springs should be strong enough. My old Fairway had quite knocky suspension when I first got it but I replaced the rear shocks and now it's fine. Quick 30 min job. |

The suspension on my TX1 is so hard that I never noticed when one of my rear leaf springs snapped at the bush eye! New springs fitted and the only difference is that it now sits level again! |

Yes Aeon used to make a similar thing as well as another firm called (I think) Auto Ballans. I think I still prefer the Andy Murray version in the picture. |
