Xantia. On starting it slowly drops, then OK

Post by johntaylor »

Hi
1994 with anti sink system.....does not drop until it starts then rear end dips <b>slowly</b> and after about 5-10 seconds it starts to rise again. Whether its an illusion? but it seems that the front goes slightly higher when the rear does its dropping bit.
Also the ride height has been adjusted so the car sits higher in the normal position.... it has done a lot of towing. I understand the ride height can be adjusted.... could you advise me how please? so it can sit at normal levels.
Thanks to all contributors!

Your anti-sink sphere is on its way out.
The suspension height is adjusted by turning the ball clamp ring on the anti roll bars, viewed from the near side, the front roll bar rotates anti clockwise as the body is raising and rear bar rotates clockwise, turning the clamps in those same directions will reduce the height.
Be aware of the danger posed by this suspension when you are under the car, keep it safe.
