    I am having a minor issue with the adjustable suspension on the F40. When I turn off the F40 and go to drop the suspension into the lowest setting, the left hand side of the car goes all the way down but the right hand side drops and then moves back up to the middle setting. Net net, the right side is sitting about 5mm higher then the left when parked. I have taken a look at both the front and rear suspensions and there does not seem to be anything visually amiss. Suggestions?

    Sounds like something amiss. Unfortunately you probably need to take it to any F specialist to diagnose but I have heard the adjustable suspension does play up. If your in England I can pm you a very good specialist who has lived with F40's since they were born.

    The problem with the F40 suspension had resolved itself but suddenly reared its ugly head again today.

    The left front and two rear sides drop all the way down when you park the F40, the front right side however stays in the medium setting.

    Is there a way to manually drop the front right side?

    Had a chance to look at the problem more closely this afternoon. I ran the suspension through all three height settings and it is moving properly on all four corners. The problem seems to be a 5mm difference in initial height between the left and right front sides. Net net, the adjustable suspension is operating correctly, it is just that there is now a height imbalance between the two front corners.

    What is the proper height setting and how do you manually adjust it ?
