ByteStorm Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Greetings, The A Class vehicle I just acquired exhibits a greater level of disagreement with a larger percentage of speed humps compared to my prior BMW 1 Series automobile. The value is obviously significantly reduced. Has anybody successfully increased the ground clearance of their vehicle by around one to two centimetres, and if so, what would be the most effective method to do this modification?

TDudette Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Does this apply only to situations when one straddles speed "humps" rather than placing just one wheel over the hump while keeping the other on the regular road surface (as suggested for navigating humps), or does it apply consistently to all types of speed bumps regardless of their width? When crossing the tyres, it is important to consider the potential negative impact on the inner sidewall. Therefore, it is advisable to modify the process accordingly.

Motoman Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It is recommended to divide or separate the speed bumps. The presence of my sump/undertrays may potentially cause annoyance to the cars behind me, nevertheless, I place significant importance on their worth.

Craigbelont Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The W177 A-Class has a high susceptibility to scraping when encountering speed bumps and road cushions. Undertray injury seems to be a common occurrence among many individuals. There is currently no evidence of anyone modifying the ride height of vehicles in order to increase ground clearance.

developer Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Are there any tyres with a little larger profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motoman Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 In the case of an AMG line, it is possible to install a suspension configuration derived from a SE or a comparable non-sport suspension model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrellll Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It is quite unlikely that the original poster (OP) intends to undertake the task of replacing the suspension system of a 2019 automobile. The most optimal course of action would be to adapt one's driving technique in consideration of speed bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
