I can live with this, however it's soft to the point that when going over a large pothole or bump in the road I could hear a bang! Almost as if the suspension was bottoming out.... I'm guessing this isn't normal.
Earlier today I went on a spirited drive and again with the suspension in "normal" moved the wheel left and right repeatedly, well things got very loose to the point that I didn't feel safe, there appeared to be no damping of the lateral movement.
So I repeat the test in "sport" mode and it's a different, corners flat, roundabouts can be taken tight and at speed etc. It even felt much better over large bumps and potholes.
What I am asking is: Could the two "comfort" spheres be bust allowing too much oil movement meaning the car is under-damped?
Just a note, the C5 is 8 years old and I don't think any of the spheres have ever been changed.
Hi, I have the same problems with my C5. Did you solved this? thanks in advance
