Sirius TV?! INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION?! BOOOOO!!!!!!
Am I mistaken? I mean...I think this could be specs for a Ford Escape!

desertkj, you've been here long enough by now. Wouldn't you think I'd have said something about IRS?

It's a solid axle.

 

[desertkj]

Wait. So Autoweek is wrong (please tell me they're wrong). Ill go back and put back my original opinions if they are wrong lol.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

The KK has a solid axle in the rear, just like we do. Autoweek is downright WRONG.

When I said there were hardly any mechanical changes... apparently you didn't believe me. lol3.gif

Let's move on and have this deleted or locked, something.

The new KK will have a solid rear axle but with a new 5-link system to keep it there.The front gets a new IFS system,not the rear.

And if you take a look at that system, you'll see there's not much new about it.

Dave...again.. I am calm. \/ It's just something like this will sprout several rumors and spread misinformation.

No, they are not wrong. No where did they say it has IRS.

"One of the biggest changes in the Liberty will be invisible to most of the general public—at least, those who don’t get down on their hands and knees to peek under the new ute. For 2008, the Liberty eschews its live rear axle—and trucklike ride—in favor of the better on-road comfort and maneuverability of an independent front and five-link rear suspension setup."

Jumping up and down, no, but I had a smile on my face. \/

I didn't even read the article, but it sounds like... they didn't say that it had IRS. desertkj, shame on you for spreading rumors! LOL. j/k
