Thread: front driver side suspension does not raise

Great! on my way home I thought I better raise suspension and still same issue :-(

After having car 3 days at DPL quite ****ed off

Hi Steve,

I had a similar issue with one of my sensors when I put the GOE Rods in, just to clarify it was NOT the GOE rods causing the issue.

I had some chunky mud on the RHF sensor, and when removed I damaged the sensor, also could have been when I was installing the GOE rods, was an easy fix, and hasn't reared its ugly head again.

My car would actually drop all 4 corners to the very bottom and give me plenty of warnings, looked pretty good sitting that low! I didn't know they could drop so far, it was literally another 1,5 inches lower than access height, but a damn pig to drive.

Maybe yours is not a sensor issue as only one corner goes or stays down.

Cheers,
Ben

I just had all four sensors changed late last week and on the weekend went back up the Zg Zag with DiscoWeb and Jonesy63 for a recce for the upcoming trip. It is a lot better now than it was last time I was up at the Zig Zag tracks when we were having issues and getting stuck everywhere.

Turned out one side was constantly 36 mm lower than the other side, which explains the rubbing on the right hand rear inner guard with the new larger tyres.

Why four sensors? Considering their price which isn't that much I reckon if ones playing up chances are the others might not be far behind, so I had the lot changed.

IIRC a repair kit is available that consists of a connector and a short length of loom. If not then I would try to get the same from a wreckers.

Is there still no suspension fault indication?

No but I never had a fault indicator in the fist place with the not raising issues, just does raise 2-3 cm less then all other sites no fault in dash board

I specifically asked Bruce when picking up car did you guys replace the sensor
As with my limited knowledge is just sounds the most likely reason.
The answer was no its nothing wrong with sensor all is working.

Apparently when they looked in to it and raised vehicle it came up with a fault code
( which I did not see previously beside the occasional one off-roading but nothing I could reproduce on command) By cleaning the plug etc. they fixed that fault code coming up ( not sure why the fault came not up when I played around with it a day earlier) but then did not actually notice the drivers site not raising properly! (again strange as its quite visible especially in off road hight).
