rear suspension xantia

Unread post by peter mawer »

I had the height selector thingy replaced yesterday (friday) I now find today that I can only get either the lowest or the highest level. Obviously the car is back in the garage Monday. However Is this problem probably connected with the work we have had done ?. Also is it safer to drive in the lower or the higher level?. Cheers Peter?.

Whoever fitted the HC has not connected the linkages up properly and thus the car won't lift up.
Its not really safe to drive it in either position really, as neither offers any suspension movement. If you hit a heavy pothole at speed the car could bounce uncontrably.
Try the position above normal and see if that'll lift the car up.
