Thanks guys..I'm still waiting for the go-ahead on the car. Magoo..I have delt with Ferrrari Atlanta as well, good people. I've talked with Harald in the parts department and he has helped me out many times. Thanks Tomjones for the tips.
I just wish that the ferrari dealer here was a friendly place to deal with for mechanical advice. I heard that if a mechanic so much as tells somebody how to check their oil over the phone the will be fired! |

Tom, I know you are in Canada but I know a guy at Ferrari of Atlanta who will always give you help or get one of his Techs on the phone with you. Call FOA 1-800-522-2345 ask for Mark in service. Great Guy. He will gladly help you. |

Tom, the rear leveling system should be pressurized only when the car is running. Be ready to block off that banjo fitting when you take the bolt out so as to not loose all your fluid.I have replaced only one of these but I didn't have much of a problem. You can remove the shock adjustment motor after you drop it out instead of trying to disconnect it from the top through the trunk. |

I just got a 456m into the shop today. The right rear hydrolic shock is leaking. I noticed that if you follow the hydrolic line from the shock, it hooks up to an acummulator ball, almost like the type found on an abs system. Does anybody know how to releave the pressure in this ball?
Or does it only have pressure when the car is running? The Ferrari dealer is being a real prick and won't help me out. Ideas? |
