Need some advice.

Front air shocks feel harsher, thump hard on mid-sized bumps and pot holes. Road noise also distinctly louder on coarse chip roads, coming from the front. Tried cycling through raised/normal, comfort/dynamic suspension - no joy. 2014 model on factory 20s, 20,000 miles.

Is this as simple as shot front shocks? Anyone experienced this?

Cheers

DRC?

I meant do you have DRC

He said the issue was the front air shocks and cycled through tbe various ride heights so sounds like no DRC to me.

Take it to a very competent indy for inspection. It could be a pressure issue (you'd get a warning about that on the dash) but probably it's the bushes or linkages starting to degrade, mine are "showing small signs of wear" after 12k miles (I have the car fastidiously checked over at every 3k oil change).

Doh! My teachers always told me to read the question

Thanks for this. I've had the car checked by the main dealer who couldn't find an issue with it.

From a browse around here, this isn't a known issue. Will chase it down for another couple of weeks - appreciate any additional idea.
