afternoon,

For the first time since I have bought it I have had the car on a flat piece of land and there is a slight lean to the drivers side (need to raise the RH side 10mm) it is not losing air or no other issues, at least that I can see so I guess it needs to be recalibrated like an old Audi I had needed years ago.

It's on the front and rear hence I don't think there is a component failure.

Am I think along the right lines?

Actually just to clarify I am making the assumption that calibrating the rear so they are level will raise the front right as well because this is obviously just springs :)

The key to me is it does not drop ever so should have no leaks and as such the assumption of calibration was born lol. Might find a dodgy sensor I guess
 
No not yet as only noticed it today when parked on a flat.

Where does the book spec reference? Is it from wheel centre to body lip? I will get the manual tonight and have a look through, I think I am only 10mm down one side and 10mm up but it's enough to be annoying and certainly visible lol
 
Mine has a slight lean to the drivers side I choose to not to worry about and because it leans to the right its helps cornering in roundabouts LOL
 
Check your springs for breakages. It's not always easy to see and the vehicle drives alright even when broken.
 
Lee52, mine is so minimal but my one and only OCD is things being level lol so I have no choice but to sort it out :)

Been a mad few days so not checked anything yet and on the spring front I did have a quick look but could not see it although I had a mondeo spring break once and could not tell until I took it out and it fell apart so could be an issue for sure.
 
Like I said, a broken spring not easy to see. Quite likely broken right at the bottom and the coils close up.
 
Yer know what u mean the mondeo spring broke in the top rubber mount and was impossible to see until I had taken it out.
 
Just to confirm it was just calibration needed because a bag had been replaced in the past and obviously not calibrated :)
 
Nice,

Good to hear it is done,
Just goes to show. Always best to find someone with a diagnostic unit who likes cake.......:p

Cheers
