    oh man, i really dont like joining the crowds of 'pricks' around here, but sir, you are not the only one, as dub stated. Relatively, you are new to the VX and you very obviously do not understand this site.
    You basically came into the ONE AND ONLY mass of vehicross info and knowledge base, then basically told the group that we dont know anything about the vehicle.
    question for you, how many times have you had your VX over 90 on dirt? how many times have you slid off the road/trail because you were pushing the limits a little too much? and finally, do you have any actual proof that you actually do use your baby as a rally vehicle, because I only know of a few people here who have videos of THEIR vx rally racing.
    I know for a fact that ive had my VX over 90 on dirt more times than i can count, as well i have spent countless hours spinning around cones and using the TOD to get myself out of the ditch.

    The part that I find funny is that my VX is lifted, as well as has been bashed on rocks on many occasions. I DEFINATELY dont 'miss daisy' my vehicles. Show me 1 pic like this or 1 video like this of YOU, and we can talk about the limit of a Vehicross.

    Yeah, but I'm smart, and I DON'T follow you (as per your recommendation ) and therefore, I have no pictures.....and didn't raid your gallery to find any.

    Hey VXobsession don't take it personal this is what they do. The "MOAB MOB" uses this site like their own personal facebook account and don't like it when people disagree with them.

I should get BEFORE I go full monty and do the shocks? Remember, OME913s and 285/65 R18s.

    I welcome the wisdom.

    Great, now I'm starving for a really good burger. But I'm hoping to re-hijack this thread just long enough to get answers to the above.

    What make/model tire? Could there be something about the stiffness and/or height of the sidewalls that affects this? How often do you experience the squirreliness?

    I have one intersection on my way to work that scares the heck out of me at 40 MPH. The '08 Mustang sez "it ain't no big deal" but my former 2002 Ranger Edge (tall tires, 3" factory lift) acted the same was as the VX.



    Just throwin' stuff out there hoping someone else might have an "ah-ha!" moment.

    I'm on 286/65 R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. BUT - this was happening PRIOR to that upgrade, also.

    I guess I'll just pull the trigger on a new sway bar and those bushings as a start.

    Unless the sway bar is broken, $ave your ca$h & pop for the energy susp bushings.

    Also check those holes on both ends of the lower links.

    My preference for bumpstops is polyurethane...I think I have 3-4" ones, with an inch or so of spacers to move em down a little more toward the top of the axle...can't remember wether prothane or E S...
    Ideally, you want them to make contact with the top of axle, an inch or so before the tire contacts the inside of the fender well.

    Oh absolutely...we're just awful...

    Remember that one year, when we changed the event T-shirt logo to read: "anti social committee"...

    Ahhhhhhhhh...the good ol' days...

    My VX will "chatter" around rough turns...my swaybar IS broke in half though. Other than that, I would say a shock issue.
