Citroen C5 - Suspension settings - easypeasy
Hi folks. Yesterday the rear suspension raised fully up,and wouldn't come down again. The AA guy notices the load compensated valve was disconnected. He put it back on,and tied a couple of cable ties on it,to stop it coming back off. The problem today is ,although its rising up and down,at normal setting, it seems too high. Not as high as before,but still huge gaps between wheel and body. Lowering it one down,is too low. Any suggestions on getting it back to original hight? Cheers

If he has the ball joints on the height regulators strapped up that could well be affecting the height, unless you have fixed the problem, if not new height corrector links could be in order.

I've just took off the cable ties,in case it was causing the problem. No change. Can you do something to check if it's the height correctors? Cheers

I haven't had any problems with them on the C5 although I did on the XMs, on those the height corrector could get stiff due to corrosion and lack of lubrication but I don't know if the C5 ones are the same.

The only way of altering the height as far as I know is by rotating the clamps on the anti roll bars, but as these have usually rusted solid they shouldn't have moved unless unless someone has altered them. There may be a small ammount of electronic adjustment but you will need to find someone with a Lexia to determine that.
