Zohar, have you corrected the ride height at all?

How do I adjust the riding height? Is there a thread describing how to do it ?

Thanks

In one of my previous post at this thread I mentioned that the new rear anti sink sphere was manufactured on 2004 ( the manufacturing date is stamped on it ) I don't know if a sphere has a limited shelf life but I changed it with a new one that was manufactured on 2010 and it did a change, the car rear suspension is less stiff although not as smooth as it the front suspension. I checked if I should add Hydraulic ( LHM ) so I moved the manual height lever to the maximum height position and waited till the car height stabilized the Orange indicator float was above the two red rings. I added LHM and the beginning the Orange float moved down but before it was between the two read rings ( it was slightly above the top read ring ) it started to raise again and I wasn’t able to move it to be between the two red rings. Does anyone know what can be the cause for that

Thanks

If the float is above the red rings, then you've over filled the lhm tank, which isn't a problem.
You may need to bleed your brakes and do plenty of citrobics.
