Hi Guys
I recently had the spheres replaced with 2nd hand ones due to 1) the cost and 2) the mech saying he had ones that were ok
The car is new to me, so i'm not sure how long the previous owner drove it with buggered spheres
The ride is much better, no more kangarooing on backend/bottoming out easily
However, when accelerating hard, the back end really does sit down, and feels a bit wallowy
Also when i loaded the car, with 80 litres of water in back, it really affected the ride, and felt a little bouncy.
With just me driving, the ride is ok.
After replacing the spheres, the car only felt 100percent when on max sport mode
Is it worth me considering replacing springs to see if this helps, or do you think it's certainly a spheres issue?
