Activa leaning round corners.

Unread post by ripsaw82 »

My activa leans when i go round corners like a normal Xantia. Can flat spheres make this happen? The rams are working, since i feel the car move from side to side when it pumps up.

Could be any number of things. Wrongly selected spheres, worn bushes, knackered centre sphere.
Check for leaks around the rams. The rams don't kick in until you corner, so in fairness you can't tell whether they're faulty or not.
And check tyre pressure/type. You'd be amazed the difference these things make on these cars.
