Xantia - rear suspension fault

mick12 · Post by **mick12** » 03 Feb 2003, 04:44

For no apparent reason, whilst I was driving yesterday, the rear suspension went to the 'high' position. The front suspension responds correctly when the adjuster lever is set to either low/normal/high position.
In terms of ride comfort, the consequence of this malfunction is less of an issue when the car is driven on a open road (non-urban) with f3ew ruts and bumps. It will be a couple of days before I can get the car to a garage and I wondered if any damage would result from driving the car with the different suspension settings - i.e. on high at the rear and normal at the front?
Any advice?!?!
Cheers,
Mick

Obviously, something's wrong with the rear corrector linkage. Don't drive the car until you fix it, except slowly and on the short distance (to the garage), because in the high position, you have no suspension at all, except that, given by the tyres.
