What are the differences if the hydragas is as it should be and when it's less than it should? biggrin

If it's lower than it should be the geometry all goes a bit squiffy leading to tyre wear etc and it won't be as supple. You can lower it properly, if desired, by using different "knuckles" to keep everything as designed smile

Thanks for the reply. It's only because I'm toying with having it pumped up rather than because I'm considering lowering it. biggrin

Feels good round corners and roundabouts. I drove round one twice yesterday. silly

I usually set mine at 360mm which is at the lower end of the recomended height and have the alignment done at this height.

That's interesting. Didn't know you could tune it like that!

I drove to a series of roundabouts last week then drove round them then came home. Not once did I break the speed limit. biggrin
