Gib5ter Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 This caught my eye on the weekend so before I start worrying or poking around the A8 I'd thought I'd see if anyones had this before. It seems as if the O/S/R suspension is half an inch lower than the N/S/R. Does the A8 have self leveling rear suspension, if so could this be the cause. It's in for its MOT tommorow so if there anything seriously wrong it should be found then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never done it, got here: http://igorweb.org/equidec/ and put all the codes in from the front of your service book (or from the sticker in the spare wheel well) - It will tell you what type of suspension you have. Watch out for 8's and B's on there though, they look so similar! Its worth noting though that its highly unlikely that the car has got self levelling unless it was factory ordered with a towbar, which is rare, and secondly the self levelling cannot be present on sport suspension... So, if you have a sport, or dont have a towbar, its unlikely. Check the codes to be sure. If one side is sagging, probably just spring/damper. The suspension arms are free to do anything they please, the ride height is purely spring and damper which aint hard to fix... Of course, if you had smaller wheels on one side that would also do it.... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
