Good evening. Hope someone has come across this problem before.
I have 2006 GS Spyder that has a few minor issues. One of these issues is a sport button which, activates the flap on the exhaust, improves the gear shifting but does absolutely nothing to tighten the suspension in normal driving or in cornering....I have no suspension light on the dash either.
I have taken the car to the Ferrari/ Maserati dealer and they could not find out what is wrong. I have a second suspension ECU and neither made a difference.
I also have an occasional vibration (at lower speeds, anything lower than 120 km/h) that is felt in the steering wheel but this may not be correlated.
The car has new wheels, tires are good, performed a wheel balancing twice in a month, and a wheel alignment and this has made no improvement.
Tonight after a lovely drive at 150 km/h...where she is soft but stable and not bouncy at all....I know what worn shocks feel like and I don't think this is the issue....I parked the car in the garage and measured the ride height.
To my surprise the car has the same height all around except on the rear right side which is 5 mm lower.
Now the questions are
again the vibration may or may not be correlated so I don't want to confuse the issue...to me the ride height has to be a tell tale sign that something is wrong.
Really appreciate if someone can help.
Thanks
Paul

Now the questions are
- is it normal for one side to be lower than the rest when parked and turned off ?
- What happens to the skyhook system if one shock is not responding...does it operate the other shocks or does it go soft on all corners ?
- what would the expert suggest to check next ?
