Like you I thought this would put needless strain on the system and so I switched off the auto lower to access height feature when I got the car and have only used it on the rare occasions that I need to drive people who struggle to get in/out at normal height. I have operated it with the car stopped on those occasions.

When you lower the car it pushes the bottom of the wheel out and also the top of the strut in.

Totally agree, I can't see it would put any significant stress on anything....

Yes, imagine the stress on the suspension when negotiating a tight turn a little too quickly, hitting a pothole, or in some lairy off-road situation? Lowering the vehicle is a somewhat gentler operation alltogether, so go ahead and enjoy your fullfat, no need to turn everything off! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that? |
