Replying to: comem47 (May 14, 2009 7:11 am) That link reminds me of when I had a loaner car when our previous car was at the body shop. It wouldn't start (Olds Intrique, ended up being a fried computer.) Anyway, the shop sent their mechanic in his Tahoe on like 24" rims. He had to stop, back up and hit my driveway perfectly straight to not scratch his rims on the curb lip. Look at any of those rims used, they are scraped up.   I didn't check my Outlanders tire pressure until it was about 6 months old, it was about 45 psi then. I didn't lower the pressure because it was riding fine. Now I have pretty good wear on the center of the tire with about 23K on the car.

Replying to: jrcola (Mar 29, 2009 9:06 am) The Subaru Forester and the Outback (2010) have the rear coil + shock absorber as one unit. The Toyota Land Cruiser, the rear suspension is like the Outlander XLS. The 2010 Lexus 350 has the rear suspension like the 2.4L SE Outlander (Coil + shock in one unit).   A cargo load of about the weight of 3 adult passengers usually drops the rear suspension of my XLS AWD for about 2-3 inches. The self levelled xenon light didn’t react to this weight accordingly (as the brochure says).   I adventured with this car to Alaska (Dead Horse) and indeed I kept an average speed in not paved road of about 50 miles per hour. The XLS was very good, socked the bumps, mud, and stones pretty well. Replies to this message: feroz (May 27, 2009 5:37 pm)

Replying to: rcpax (May 15, 2009 1:10 pm) Yes, it didn't work as described.   My headlamps was pointing to the trees or above the traffic signal on the road. This only happen when the car was loaded. Replies to this message: rcpax (May 18, 2009 2:53 am)

Replying to: batman47 (May 18, 2009 2:33 am) Then you should have it checked by the dealership. Mine works just fine. Must be a busted height sensor.

Replying to: batman47 (May 15, 2009 5:43 am) Are the rear suspension diffrerent on the XLS and 2.4 SE models for 2009. The reaason I ask is because the XLS seems rough ridding to me, I know the tire account for some of this but may be the suspension, if different, is also the answer.
#115 of 117 Do i have a steering suspension problem? by cheech73 Nov 13, 2009 (7:18 pm)
hI i have an 07 outlander with 20k miles on it. i just picked it up from the dealer a month ago. so far i love the car love its power its look everything about it. BUT im wondering if i have a steering or suspension problem. In highway driving when hitting bumps and breaking at the same time example the car steering goes left and then when i try to straighten it out it might go right.. I had this problem before with an envoy it could have been either one of the suspension arms or ball joints. could i be having the same problem?? should i bring it in to the dealer or have my local mechanic just look at it?

Replying to: cheech73 (Nov 13, 2009 7:18 pm) Take it back to the dealer, you bought it from, it is still on warranty. If they would found it is not covered, try the trick with them not checking/ fixing it when it was sold to you. If you end up paying (part damaged on a pothole, etc) go to place which is cheaper, or the one you trust. Replies to this message: cheech73 (Nov 15, 2009 5:03 pm)
