Google Aswers doesn't allow direct contact with customers. Maybe if
you explain more of the problem, someone can help.

The vehicle in question appears to be very light on its steering
wherever you position a load we are a specialist cleaning company and
have bought this vehicle in order to be able to carry a greater load?
The cleaning aspect of the business requires the installation of
diesel generated water jetting unit which weighs approximately 800kg,
the total carrying weight is 3500kg, 1640Kg is the makx on the front
axle with 2240kg being the max on the rear axle. We have already had
this jetting unit fitted over the centre of the rear axle this however
made the steering very light. We have now had this moved approximately
15 inches further forward which has balanced weight overall on the
vehicle and had has improved the hand ling on Urban roads and up to 60
mph on the motorway but at 70 mph it is scary. What we need to know is
have people had similar experiences can this unstable situation be
overcome or have we bought a pig in a poke and there is nothing we can
do.!

We feel that the manufacturers are aware of the problem but are not
admitting any liability. Yes the main aim of the enquiry is to talk to
people who have had previous experience with this problem.
