Have you taken the rear dampers off to inspect them?
You can pressure test them by hand, you would know instantly if one had gone.
From your initial description it sounds like one of them has failed. As I had a similar experience when one of my OE dampers went on the A23. Had the rear end...
Heat gun on coolest setting. Keep it moving over the vinyl. Don't hold in one place.
Wipe over with WD40, to remove any excess glue. Rinse off with detail spray.
You could also claybar/polish paintwork after.
Well sort of, more of a lottery I guess. We've only known it to happen to 2 other ones. So far. Guess I was just unlucky, time wise.
Mark has developed some new valves now, so if anyone has their head off, I'd recommend speaking to him about replacing the OE valves.
Cheers everyone.
More pics...
Yes had the valve sent off and examined. They are a cast valve, and it had defects in it both sides of where it failed. So inferior manufacturing basically.
Pretty easy when you have all of the mounts etc in front of you.
Will need to have the car up in the air to undo and retighten the bolts through the floor.
The Cobra subframes bolt into the existing mounting points, plus the outside one into the seatbelt mounting point.
The side mounts...
If you need any work doing on the Sadav boxes, Mark Fish Motorsport knows them inside out. He rebuids and maintains a few of the ex cup cars that are running in the MFM LMA championship.
