Xantia front sinks when driving

Unread post by Jippington »

Hello, I have a problem where the front of my car gradually sinks over about 10 miles.

The problem started after changing a drop link yesterday, after which the front wouldn't rise at all. I have now moved the height position clamp and now rises properly and only seems to sink after driving.

I'm pretty clueless about what it could be so any ideas are welcome!

Hi, have you checked that the plastic link to the height corrector is still attached?

From what I could see it was still attached, gave it a blast of WD 40 while at it

Take a good look at the arm that is welded to the clamp on the ARB and make sure the it is not about to fall off. Also check that the clamp is actually gripping the ARB firmly.
