Sounds like a bad case of "deflated-sphereitis".

A new set of suspension spheres is the cure

If its a hydractive one there will be six, otherwise four. If they have gone I would check the accumulator sphere as well.

If the symptons have happened suddenly then check the plastic clip hasnt cracked/split and become detached from the height corrector before replacing spheres.

How do I know if it is hydractive?

What plastic clip? Where is this clip?

Where are these spheres?

Found this by searching for 'plastic clip' (one of Anders DK)

The linkage rod should of course be fixed at its balljoint. It "pops" on (or off) the ball. If it has cracked it wont stay on. Sometimes the short ballpin ond the ARB simply has snapped off.

The pictures are of the height correctors, front and back.
You're looking for part 6.

Their is so much info on this site.... even about this little plastic clip, I suppose what I was suggesting was a quick search for yourself would reveal a weeks worth of reading.... all of it pertinant to your current difficulty.
