Sagging front end

[trif]

I was wondering whether those with steel bullbar and winch fitted have noticed lower posturing of the front end afterwards. I'm convinced it is sitting 1-2 cms lower at the front. The tape measure seems to agree. I drive a MY11 D4 HSE.

I thought the air suspension should be albe to cope with extra weight (estimated to be 80kg) given the rear end can cope with 350kg additional weight with a trailer attached.

Hi Trif,
Had my OL bar on for 18 months now. Didn't notice any difference when fitted, and don't now.

It will adjust back to where it was automatically. If you want to trim it up a bit, you will need to invest in a Faultmate. There is quite a variation ( I think + or - 25mm ) available to 'finetune ' the std height settings. I have adjusted mine up about 10mm with a Faultmate.

As we get older all the front ends sag

As we get older all the front ends sag

Rear ends tend to sag a bit too !!!

Thanks for the input guys. For the record l was referring to the cars front end, not my personal front end .

I've spoken the local LR dealership and they'll run the computer over it next week and 'recalibrate' the height sensors. A faultmate is sounding better all the time ............
