Title: Self-levelling Suspension...
Post by: sophos9 on 03 November 2007, 20:15:17
This has been a woe from day one, the rear sits at different heights, passenger side is lower than drivers - springs are all good, suspension is in excellent nick (replaced around 1.2yrs ago). I've pulled fuse 27 which will stop the unit, will see how that goes.

Now, what happens if I just disconnect the connectors from the rear suspension, will there be any safety issues?

Cheers

i would say one of your springs has possibly sagged a bit to alter heights ! the shockers only alter the hieght when loaded bud !! try putting a load of wieght in boot and see how it sits !!  :y

Bummer... Are springs an easy change on the back? Are you able to measure them and see the difference?

Mark DTM did a HOW 2 on the rear springs - couple of hours of swearing at the most  :y

If the fuse is still in and you disconnect them the pump will run continually, as evidenced when Jim replaced his self levelling with irmscher shocks. The system will continually run trying to set the correct level.  :-/

:lol: Funny 5hit!!

The fuse is out and is staying out for the time being, self levelling offers nothing for me and my car usage...  :y

Thanks.  :y

Was amazed it still looked so clean when i got to the place i took those pics. It's hard trying to keep it clean with the weather we get up here. It's a standing joke with my neighbours about how often i wash my car. :-/
