Hi all, I've had my Panamera now for nearly three years, I recently fitted rear lower Bush arms as I was getting a very strange ride ( don't know how I can put it ) I'm getting a kind of sway and wobbly ride, I think that's the best way to put it, I installed a pair of lowering springs to drop the height by 35mm, easy job, this is when I found that all the bushes were shot so hence replaced them, I'm still getting the sway/wobble coming from the rear end, I've had it up on ramps but can't see anything else that would need replacing, has anyone got any ideas?, I'm thinking the only thing it could be now is the rear shocks, £1000 from your normal dealers or £200 from Hong Kong

 

did you try putting the stock springs back in? could be the suspension geometry

 

Hi, I can't see why changing the springs to lowering ones would make any difference to the ride but thanks for the thought

35mm is a large amount, you may have changed the geometry of the suspension which would affect the way it works. you changed 1 thing and it started behaving different and it worked fine for 3 years before that.
did you only drop the rear? is the front still at factory ride height?

 

I think too that 35mm is not good.
You need to try a new geometry of the suspension

 

I doubt it would be the shocks. Check all the bushings for play and if they look good you might want to have a professional mechanic take a look at it to see.

 

Been a while since I mentioned this problem, I've replace the whole suspension with BR Coilovers front and back and was sure this would cure my problem...... nope still there, anyone have any other ideas??
