When the car sits there with the heights varying a little from side-to-side as if it were doing very gentle citarobics sideways

It comes from the Activa Rams doing little corrections under the influence of the roll corrector, a device very similar to a height corrector but working sideways and controlling the Activa Rams.

It looks quite comical, as does an long standing Activa settling with a tilt to the nearside. It does this because the Activa system does not have Anti-Sink (or should this be Anti-Tilt) valve blocks on the rams.

A clean, lubricate and replacement of the roll corrector linkage pillow blocks sorts it out.
