Now I choose raised springs for lift.There are many springs I found in inet such as Dobinson, Ironman, Mabilsa, OME, Terrain Tamer and KingSprings. I have a some questions about this.

1. Who use a raised springs? Which model of springs do you use? Can you write review about your springs?
2. What shocks do you use for raised springs (front and rear)?
3. Do you have any problem after setup raised springs? ]]> 2G (2006+) Grand Vitara dearshurik http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/40414-raised-springs.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/40410-strange-engine-knocking-sound-ignition.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:08:12 GMT Hi to everyone,

I have a 2010 GV 3dr 1.6 on 20.000km now. Since 15 days generally on morning starts, I'm hearing a knocking sound coming from the engine (or somewhere else) just on engine start after the ignition. I'm hearing this just for a second. It happens randomly, but I hear this knocking sound on the mornings strongly. After the ignition the engine works fine.

I went to the authorized service but of course (murphy laws) this didn't happen there and they lifted the car and checked some bolts and then they said there is nothing wrong in the car.

Someone has any idea about it? Because this makes me unhappy when happens :(

Thanks to all in advance ]]> 2G (2006+) Grand Vitara Mole_Tr http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/40410-strange-engine-knocking-sound-ignition.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/40392-high-oil-consumption.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:26:37 GMT Hi, recently i have started to consume a lot of oil.

I took my car to the dealer for a chatter noise under the hood after I put a screwdriver to the head and heard the noise coming from inside. The dealer said it was the timing chain tensioner making the noise. They changed my oil for me at the time and put full synthetic Valvoline in it and ordered the part. I have not had time to get back to the dealer, but the noise had stopped anyways. I went through that oil change and then a Mobil 1 7500 mile full synthetic oil change with no noise. Now I am back to the extended performance and it is now making the chattering noise again. What do you guys think, is the extended performance 5W30 from Mobil a little thicker than their 7500 mile oil and the Valvoline? I don't want them ripping apart the car at 130,000 miles if it is just the type oil full synthetic oil I am using. The reason I ask if it is thicker is because the chattering is there in the morning and after you drive it for 4 or 5 miles the noise subsides. Any ideas? ]]> 2G (2006+) Grand Vitara pciro2180 http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/40373-timing-chain-tensioner-noise.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/40371-new-brake-shoes.html Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:35:40 GMT Hi everybody. I'm a new guy here. I have a 2008 Grand Vitara that I've been trying to get new REAR Brake Shoes for. None of the local after-market parts houses seem to carry them. Are they an OEM/Dealer item only?

Hi,
after i drove my car on mountain road for an hour yesterday , i went back home and i checked the bottom of the car under the engine and i found the car leaking. i took the car to the mechanic and he said the problem might be the crank shaft seal. today i checked the car again and found the leaking stopped although the car engine is running.
can any body tell me what is the exact problem. and do i need to take the car to the dealer.
my car model is 2009. 3.2 engine. automatic transmission

I have a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara X-Sport 4x4 with a 2" lift (RR). The 2" lift was installed at around 5,000 miles. I ran the 2" lift on the original Yokohama tires until they were replaced at about 44,000 miles.

I then replaced all four with Pirelli Scorpion ATRs.

12,000 miles later, the rear tires are almost bald on their outer edge, with the inner edge having plenty of meat on them. The passenger side rear is slightly worse than the driver-side rear. The front tires still have plenty of life left on them. I believe they were rotated once during the 12,000 miles.

Is it possible to have the rear suspension put back into factory camber spec? I know the front struts can be fixed with camber bolts (which I've done - and that's fine), but the rear I'm told is not correctable from the 1.1-1.2 degrees off-center that the kit runs at. Anyone else heard different?

My only other alternatives would be to remove the lift, rotate the tires (much?) more frequently, or switch tire brands to something which handles the off-camber suspension a bit better.

Thoughts?
