Car riding too low C5.

Unread post by stickery74 »

Hi all,
My 2007 C5 seems to be riding too low on normal settings. Scuffing noises over speed bumps etc. The buttons all seem to be working correctly i.e it raises and lowers on command and the fluid appears to be at the correct level. It doesn't look overly low but it definitely sounds like it's scuffing over bumps if I hit them at anything above walking speed. No faults on the dash and no fault codes on the OBD. Any suggestions?

If the car doesn't look low and appears to raise/lower ok, then are you sure it's not just one of the underbody covers come loose and hanging down?

Everything looks normal but that's exactly what it sounds like. I can't work it out. Unfortunately I didn't get home till after dark so can't have a proper look.
