My BX can't get its front up/ sticky Height Corrector?

Post by Mike E (uk) »

Back end comes up normally, front end stays on the floor.

If I sit in the pit under the acr and poke the control arm to the front height corrector, the front goes up nicely.

I have lubricated the linkages, but this does not seem to have helped.

The HC is quite inaccessable, so I don't want to replace it if it has not failed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

try more lube and work the manual high adjuster, maybe you have not hit the spot with your lube, it is usualy the linkage sticking,

dont use the W stuff as it dry's things out to cause you to use more (crap!!!!)

the actual H/C very seldom give trouble, and even when they do a good strip down and clean usualy fix's them,
