astra suspension

[mackab24]

hi all ive got a t reg astra 1.6 sxi its done quite alot of miles now but the suspension feels soft. the shock absorbers are not broke and the springs seem fine, im just wondering do the shocks need to be filled again? i have heard this from a few people????????

Hi matt dont know a lot about scooters being a classic car owner but i did have a scooter years ago and had the same problem take your spark plug out give it a clean if no sand paper get a box of matches and clean the spark plug that way then before putting it back in get a pencil and put the black lead on the spark electrode were it sparks this should work but cant promise but it did work for me hope this helps and gets you home ok. all the best Ian

I've never heard of shocks being filled again - once they wear out or start to leak - replace them.

Bear in mind that most Vauxhalls have quite soft suspensions anyway.
