Hardening suspesnion

Unread post by citroenxm »

Hi..

After a recent Dust settleing with a local Citroen Man, he has an Activa on an N plate.. he has recently got the car on the road, but has found a strnage problem..

The Front FRONT ONLY, suspension, while driving along strangly goes HARD, It doesn't rise up, apparently, or does it lower, but slowly goes hard. If he stops, put the suspension RIGHT up, then back to normal height, it softens up, then slowly goes hard again..

Any ideas for this strange delimma??

What about a sticky Hydractive valve or a flat sphere for the balancing rams (not leaving sufficient reserve pressure for the front ram to allow the front anti-roll bar to move/be in soft mode?).
