Noise and Suspension of Lybra
Posted: 01 Jan 2004, 11:44
I would like your opinion about the suspension of Lybra.
I have the 1.8 LX (2000 model), I have covered 75.000 kms and I am not happy from the reliability of suspension in the damping of vibrations.
The anti-roll bar was changed in the 45.000 kms, because it presented intense noises in the cold time. I observed that anti-roll bar rod was plastic!! while the new is metal. In the 45.0000 kms, I changed also the absorbers (with factorial because guarantee) – the absorbers is from BOGE - but after 20.000 kms, again, intense vibrations from the suspension (on both axes)
It appears that various elastik-plastik parts of the suspension they have very small duration of life and unfortunately do not exist as parts but only that as total
(truck control arms, anti-roll bar, longitudinal arm, crossmember).
The Monroe proposes in each change of absorbers be changed all
the rubbers (on absorbers and the springs) to prevent noise during operation.
I tried to find any information about this problem from the Italian
forum of viva-Lancia but it did not stand possible because the robotic translation from Italy to English was very bad!
