FRONT SUSPENSION DIPPING

Just started to notice front suspension drops when not moving after about 1 minute, also when first get in car and drive away steering quite light , and not as heavy as when new..

Yes I have had a new compressor about two months ago, any thoughts....

Thanks

This is something that has shown itself up in a couple of LRE cars. It needs to be dealt with. This £10 is a dealer issue, fight it, they have your car and you are the loser hands down, dig your heals in.

They should at least give you the option of using your own insurance company.

I get free loaners from my dealer. And the suspension may just be levelling itself. Mine does in town in traffic sometimes. You can feel the car move. Its the stop start raising up the front when accelerating etc.

Mine does that, mainly when pulled up at lights / junctions etc. it appears to be the vehicle self levelling and doesn't seem detremental. Be aware that it will not try to level as in absolute level, but individual wheelarch to ground level, adjusting itself for 'best fit'
the steering wil seem lighter as the tyres have 'set' to their camber and components such as the steering rack have loosened up to their operating tolerance

Yes, it the amount of dip that is important.
