HELP PLEASE

Guys, Would like to pick your technical brains here.

I've noticed that recently, when I come to a standstill in my car i.e- at a set of lights or stopping at a junction, my car tents to "sit down" a little at the rear end.

Theres no funny noises coming from the suspension, and no major handling issues, it just tends to drop down a little as i come to a standstill. Its not a massive amount, but just noticeable(Especially on the drivers side), and annoying, as Its got me worried that my suspension my be fecked

Anyone got any ideas,before I book it in for a check?

Many thanks,

Al

Mine started doing that but was also clunking at low speeds, turns out the dampers knackered.[]

Its a weird feeling sitting at the lights when the back of the car drops down a wee bit!

give me a shout when you are back in work. I still have the old shocks off mine. Can trial fit to see if your are F'd. Takes about two hours.

Just a thought, does it happen when you have put the handbrake on. (you do know what that is[])? As it uses a different set of brakes than the footbrake, so has a tendancy to rock back slightly. Just like a landrover.

Hi Steve, I'll be back up the road on Monday. Sent you a text message. ;-)
