the sliders i have mount to the body mounts, but i donot agree with how they do this.

its my understanding that messing with the upwards or downwards travel of a body mount is a pretty bad idea, and this is exactly what my sliders are doing.

the sliders are welded to 2 tubes that fit over the mount. there is a large washer (effectively looks like a washer) welded inside the tube for the body bolts to go through, and tensioning the nut compresses the body rubber between the body and chassis. the lower rubber effectively become floating, as it is captive inside the steel tube around it.

i think the 'washers' need to be cut out, and re welded higher so they are between the chassis and the lower rubber. still inside the tube but instead of 50mm down inside the tube, only 10mm to suit the shape of chassis

before i go chopping things up, am i wrong???

I'm not an engineer, but I think it is important not to stop body being able to move independent of chassis.
Hence why Mr Suzuki rubber mounts the body.
Or cracking of body could ensue?

that's what i was thinking. seams odd they change how the mounting system functions unnecicerally

Your right, I should bolt the way you think not the way it is.

PS: I think these sliders only marginally work and are a poor design at best.

yeh their certainly not for frequent use, only for the occasional submerged rock ,the only thing that keeps smashing my sills
but point taken.
