Fastrac suspension

[Tommy]

The fastrac looks to have fallen out with me this week with a few problems all coming at once. We’ll start with the suspension, started here up yesterday and only the left side is correcting the hight of the rear suspension. The right side won’t move unless you get under and pull/push the linkage that works the valve above it. Would I be right in getting a new linkage will cure it?the valve will move the suspension I assume the valve is ok???
Thanks all, I’ll be back with more problems later

Remove the spring boxes and free them off might do the trick unless the springs inside have rotted in which case,yes new linkage,if ones rotted then the other will be on its way.could try mail order from arms plant or maybe vicary plant spares..park it dead level and fiddle with the lengths of the linkage and be patient,it doesn't adjust instantly!

Thanks for that, I didn’t want to fork out on a new valve and find it wasn’t that. The linkage is about £70 from arms, I’ll give one a go

Might be worth asking your dealer to check the software on the engine

Good luck getting a hold of him!

I've a order in and can't get any response.

Mail order isn't too bad normally they arrive fairly rapid.you can get seal kit for them off e bay if leaking oil and sometimes they can need freeing off if sticking.have to take them off to do that but be very careful of the hyd fittings ,they snap really easy and are odd sized...that's all it's likely to be unless one of the lock nuts has come undone and allowed the rod to lengthen or shorten.
