Technical description of the suspension kit supplied for the armoured Nissan Patrol MY12 4.8GVW.

The suspension has been designed and manufactured as a complete kit specifically for use on MY12 armoured versions of the Nissan Patrol vehicle with an approximate GVW of 4800kg. The kit is not made up of “heavy-duty” aftermarket parts and the assumption of both the general road conditions and ambient temperatures in the locations where these vehicles are likely to be deployed have been taken into account throughout development. Tuning of the suspension and ride and handling tests have been carried out on unladen and fully-laden armoured vehicles with over-checks for evasive maneuver stability and light/moderate off-road capability.
