Had new shock absorbers fitted today. My car was an allgrip 2019 so I should of been fitted with the new shock absorber anyway. Complained to my dealer who with no quibble said they would swap them as there is a Bullin regarding the problem.

The new ones they have fitted look identical to eg ones they have taken off , see what you think. Ride does seem stiffer though.

That’s a bit bizarre!

 

Yes very bizarre. It would appear that the shock absorbers are a like for like replacement. Might be worth checking the part number stamped near the base of the unit - it's conceivable that theres maybe yet another upgrade. The upgrade fitted to date and the shock absorbers fitted to cars 2018 onwards is part number 41810-62R60 - you can just make out from the photo that your original shock absorbers are this part number.

 

Hi does this affect all Ignis models I have just purchased a 2018 adventure. I do notice some crashing over rough roads and feel that the suspension can be a little soft even with just myself in the car. I have emailed the Suzuki dealer I purchased the car from to find out not sure if I will get a response.

 

It depends on when in 2018 your car was registered. I’ve seen cars as late as mid 2018 with the earlier suspension. It’s easy to check which suspension you have by looking at the rear shock absorbers - the originals were around an inch diameter - the upgraded ones around 1.5 inches.

 

Just noticed in the photo above that there is a large bump stop within the rear spring. This should help prevent the suspension from bottoming out. I’m not sure if this extra bumpstop is specific to the 4x4 version or standard on later 2wd models equipped from the factory with the upgraded suspension. Earlier 2wd cars certainly didn’t have this extra bumpsop.

 

Just dropped mine in,

Been told it's four new bump stops, new rear shocks and new front struts. I'd read elsewhere on the forum that suzuki were only doing just the rear shocks, but I seem to be getting it all done?

Might be some variance in model years and allgrip/non allgrip that decides it?

Mine was all done though I never checked bump stops.

 

Does this look like the old or updated strut ?

 

Is the corrosion coating standard in your country or was it done later? I notice that some Uk owners on the forum are complaining about corrosion in this area.

 

Looks like upgraded but measure it's diameter. There's loads of references on this forum to the dimensions and part numbers of original and upgraded, it's around 28mm diameter for the original and 38mm for the upgraded ones.

 

The corrosion plating is standard here in Iceland, all car dealers sell the cars with it

 

Do Suzuki supply the cars with the coating or is it something the dealer does. Do you use salt on the roads in Iceland, as we do in the Uk in winter?

 

Yeah we use salt, and the dealer pays some company here in iceland to do it

 

You all keep us posted.

 

Hi People,
Ive been reading through with interest the problems with the suspension on the (MF) Ignis, and I too have issues with bottoming out etc (2018 Allgrip). I have looked at the part numbers today from my front struts and rear dampers - they don't seem to match up with any that have already been mentioned

Fronts are:- 41601-62RD0 (offside) 41602-62RD0 (nearside) Rear shocks are both 41810-62RD0
bottom dia' of rear dampers is 32mm. - Any idea where these fit in the puzzle??

I took a lovely picture of the bump stop, and the impression its left. I'm waiting for my local Suzuki Service Manager to contact me. Lets see what he says.

 

The correct rear shock absorbers should be around 38mm diameter on the cylindrical body. I’m not sure I understand the 32mm diameter - is this at the cylindrical section? if correct, it’s more akin to the original rather than the updated units. The letters DO are stamped on the shock absorbers in addition to the Suzuki part number. This may be causing confusion. As you point out, the suspension is going full travel and bottoming out at times.

 

 

Certainly a puzzle! There are at least a couple of photos on this forum of rear shock absorbers fitted to 2018 Allgrips which clearly show the part number as 41810-62R60 which are around 38mm diameter. These are the units retrofitted to other early Ignis models. 41810-62RD0 is listed for the Allgrip but for 2016>. I suspect that 41810-62RDO were smaller diameter units fitted to Allgrips only, pre upgrade and in 2018 the Ignis was upgraded to to 41810-62R60. Infact the Autocar article on the Ignis suspension issue in February 2018 states:
"The upgrades have been applied to series-production Allgrip four-wheel drive models since the end of 2017 and are available as a retrofit for owners of older models."

I don't know the date of registration of your Ignis but it's not unusual for the manufacturing date to be several months earlier so it's quite conceivable for a car registered well into 2018 to have the pre upgrade suspension. If this is the case, then it's understandable that the suspension is bottoming out. Hopefully you can resolve the issue quickly with the dealer and get the work done within the warranty period. The upgrade (4 shock absorbers + bump stops) is around £800 retail!
