Citroen C 5 Height Sensor Rear Axle

[salton]

hi all

just  got myself a c 5 exclusive very nice car so far.

had new tyres fitted by a relation of mine.only to find that the rear axle raised itself to the moon.

had no idea what to do about it so i looked on the website to find some good answers..

 i went back to the garage put it up on the ramp NOT TO BE DONE WITHOUT A PROPER GARAGE  RAMP AS IT WILL LOWER ITSELF DOWN  ON YOU...

the height sensor on the anti roll bar is in the centre it,s a little black box with a pear shaped bit on it which has  bar shaped like a dogs bone/barbell shape linkage .it had moved up on itself.s all we needed to do was pull it back up..NO TOOLS NEEDED.start the car up and let the system resset itself.JOBS A GOODEN..

good luck and hope this will help ..slaphead rainham essex

Welcome to the forum.

In the handbook it says to raise the suspension height to max before jacking the car up. Others have also reported problems when not doing this first. Sometimes the height sensors need spraying with wd40 or similar and the suspension raised/lowered a few times if they start sticking and the suspension plays up.
