hi all,

ive just changed my passenger front tyre to a brand new one. no problems getting it off and putting the new one on.

i used the supplied jack and when bringing the car back down the rear suspension never followed it back down.

any ideas?

many thanks

Just give it a push down, I had the same thing happen on mine, same side as well funnily enough, I just kinda sat on the bonnet slightly and it moved back down.

hi,
i need some help. i recently jacked up my 2 front wheels one at a time using the supplied jack.

when lowering the car i noticed my suspension was higher than normal on both the back and front.

I think that's a normal condition from having the struts fully extended while jacked up. It should settle back shortly after removing the jack.
