i have hydro suspension and the front is on the bump stops again and the arse is in the air

it seems ill have it level then if i jack the car up it will upset the suspension and when i let it down the front is on the bumps stops

it has gone good again sometimes after either jacking the front or rear up over nite.

does any of this sound familar with anyone or am i going bonkers ?



munk.

not leaking? or a blockage? orrrrrr needs topping up?

or maybe because you jacked it up it juz needs to settle. like how you jack a car up with shocks and when you let it off the jacks the car will sit about an inch higher then normal until you drive it for a bit or press on the shocks.


same effect maybe but opposite?

i.e thats a massive guess

Sounds like the front bags have sagged a bit, or knuckle joints worn, or the rear helper springs (which pull the arse down) are soft. Later cars had stronger ones (painted orange).
I'd replace both the front knuckle joints first, if not done already.
If that doesn't fix it it's permissible to put up to a 5mm spacer between the front knuckle and strut tube.

i'd be thinking the Rear Helper Springs...scot the wreckers for the orange Dr mentioned. get some one to stand in the boot and see if the front lifts

Also check the rear trailing arms are free on their pivot shafts- one of our members here had a Mini-K that was seized solid on one side from lack of grease (PO's fault).
