Uneven Superb estate

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

My Superb is approaching 100k miles and I have now noticed there can sometimes be a ride height difference of around 10mm on one side compared to the other when parked.  Other times it is level.  This has been checked when parking in the same locations.

 

No springs are broken.

 

Has anyone experienced wear in the suspension which has caused this uneven ride height and can advise the most likely culprit?  Or is this an anomaly which has probably always been there and I have only just noticed it?  ie. With the soft suspension can the car end up lower on one side with just driver and then not fully return when the driver gets out the car?

I would look much closer at the springs.  It can be difficult to see a broken one.

Hi all,

 

Can confirm no broken springs.  Ride height difference on rear axle can be as much as 20mm now when parked level in a known level car park.

 

Has anyone else experienced sagging springs on the Skoda Superb mk3?


Thanks,

Further to my last message, I have just checked the official workshop manual for the Superb mk3 rear spring remove and refit.  It appears that the official way is to let suspension hang and then spring compressors are sufficient to compress the spring and then remove and vice versa.  Is this correct?
