Hello everybody,

I own a T3 westfalia TD1.6, at the moment I'm renewing the engine;
after that I'm going to renew schock absorbers coils etc.
In order to increase stability I don't want to modify the height of suspensions so I would like to add some spacers between the disk brake and the wheel to enlarge a bit the distance
between wheels, I suppose this, together with larger tyres will
increase stability. Do you think is this causing some damage in a long
while to the steering or the brackets of the schock absorbers or
whateverelse? I need you opinion guys!

Thanks for your time.

I don't think increasing track widt will do all that much to your stability. I would go for a suspension upgrade of some sort. That's where you have the actual movement. You might also consider fitting wheels with less rubber.

Here's a thought:

On a box like this , inkluding head wind , there is no other way to go other than lowering, widening ...Lowering ,stiffening is the way to go...
Its the punishing reality for all you syncros /high roof/big rubber people out there ..

yes, what you say confirms my suspect tha spacers are not such a good solution...
Do yo have any suggestion were can I find in the internet someone who sells a front anti roll bar for T3's?
Actually it seems quite a difficoult article to find anyhwere... any suggestion?

thanks

It should have one already. New bushings and shocks will do wonders, though.

Hi Joachim,
what about replacing also drop links brackets? do you think does it help or is it enough to replace the complete bush kit?
