Hi all, I have read most things sphere related and believe my problem falls into that category but not too sure.
The problem is when the car is started after being parked for a while the rear end dips down to a low position and then takes some time to rise to the driving height. Is this sphere related and if so is it all 3 rear ones or the centre one. The front end seems to be OK.
Thanks for any help.

My guess would be that you need to replace the centre, anti-sink sphere. You can do that independantly of the rear wheel spheres. If you decide to change it, undo the pipe union at the back of the sphere, before spinning off the sphere itself. Fail to undo the pipe union first, and you'll end up sheering the hydraulic pipe. Presumably you've read up on only just moving the union and sphere very slightly before lowing the suspension and releasing the pressure. Raising the car sufficiently and safely is all important.
