[QUOTE="ehoe, post: 46524, member: 141"] • excessive oil or fluid is leaking from the shock, *** Have checked and no visible signs of leaking oil • the front end of your vehicle "dives" excessively under braking, *** Again have tried this and vehicle seems to be ok, no diving • your Bmw E34 continues to "bob" up and down after you hit a bump or dip in the road, *** Nope not bobbing up and down. • your Bmw E34 leans too much in the corners, *** Again can't really feel that is leaning more than is normally is. It may be my imagination but the ride height does seem slightly lower than normal (maybe ard 1 - 1.5 cm lower). Is that a sign of a worn absorber?. My presumption is that as the aborber is worn, the spring rate is lower so as a result ride height goes down since the springs are now taking more force since the absorber is not taking the full brunt of the load. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
