Hi Guys

I have nearly completed my clubman and i am up to the stage of adjusting the rear ride height (HI-LOs). now i have done some searches on this but couldn't find much. when lowering the rears, the rubber doughnut? gets really loose in its housing, i am concerned that it will fall out if i drive over a bump.

Cheers

When your car is set this low, you need to be careful to guide the rubber cone into its housing as you lower the car onto its wheels.

I have never had any trouble with it falling out, and my race car lifts rear wheels regulary. I do run a rear sway bar though which may help to hold it in.

I don't think you will have any trouble with a road car providing you keep all of the wheels on the ground i.e the suspension is loaded at all times.

you cold try a leather strap from the arm to the subframe so the doughnut doesn't fall out
