Hi terry,

Nice to meet a sri lankan again... I haven't heard a similar problem before, it is very strange. I have used mine for more than 9 yrs. and even load 5 passengers at once. What is your rim/ tyre size? It's better if you check the condition of your suspensions.

Also check whether the shock absorbers you replaced are in the correct measurements (you can ask from a spare parts supplier).

Hi hashi,

Nice to meet you.. yes hashi i have thought of checking my suspension.. I presume that I've got 13" Alloy Rim and tyre size... And I belive that this is the standered size on a March... I was reconsidering on changing the rim size to 15" what do you think???

Any ways what Alloy RIM size do u have on your micra?? This is a really bad situation that I am facinig since i do not know whom to consult or at least get some profesional expertise on this matter.

Hashi pls tell me what should be standered shock absorbers size for March..

I have seen some Pics on this blog in some modified Marchas with Larger RIM size, I think doing so whould eliminate my problem ???
What will your opinion Be???

Hi Terry,

I also have 13" alloys + 185/65 sport tyres. I personally don't think that you should go for 15" alloys. A person from the wheel alignment shop told me that it is always better to go for the factory rim size (13") as other sizes could harm the functionality of lower-arms and shocks. Also if you are hoping to load 4-5 passengers, will you think the 15" will give a smooth pickup

Few years ago, I replaced my originals shocks with KYB gas shocks. The model number says "343249 NISSAN MICRA 3J24". Check whether you have installed the correct ones.

I still suggest you to check your suspensions

go up to 14 inch rims and tyres and then check your suspension. This is all it can really be.
