Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum and have completed reviewing the archive. everything is really great with all of the information and all, but some of the feed back and discriptive that have been given included bouncy sets in their Montys? are these an after market set? I know the anwser is going to be really simple! anyway had to ask!

and while you're at it, check out the critical threads sticky at the top of the main page. Covers most of the basics.

A picture is worth a thousand words. They are optional suspension seats. A basic X frame with a shock absorber.
It's a strange feeling the first time you use them sort of "bouncy" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Bouncy seats are seats with suspension bases similar to those used in trucking. One sits on an adjustable (for weight) spring and the up and down motion is damped by a shock absorber. If you're car is bouncing along at 20 HZ you might be bouncing at 5 HZ - slower with a noticeable difference in onset. The seats can be locked so they won't bounce.

They were in some GenI cars, but not all - my '89 Raider did not have them, but I've replaced the original seat bases with suspension bases from the junkyard. I cannot rock the seats forward to get into the back seat - but I no longer have a back seat - replaced with more useful stuff.

I am told that there were some installed on GenII's. I have never seen one, but these may be ones:

On GenI cars, swapping is easy, all the bolt patterns match. I'm in the slow process of trying to install a GENI suspension base in my GENII Pajero. Much, much different - a huge PITA.

FWIW, I have a bouncy seat in my 92 GenII. It's different than the 1st gen ones, but definitely factory installed.

Mine has a big knob that adjusts the tension as well as a 3 position locking thing that allows 3 fixed heights instead of bouncy.

Thanks, for all of ths info.

Bouncy sets? I know what they are. But posting a pic of a "bouncy set" would probably get me banned...

I see, how the little errors in spelling, get ya!Ha Ha <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
should have looked closer before I submitted.
anyway thanks to all <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

No worries...just being a smart @ss I found a set of bouncies in a 93 Gen 2 in the yard one time. Installed the passenger side in my 95 and sold the drivers side..The Gen 1 and two are quite a bit different as stated above..

Those are bouncy sets and safe for work.
