Rough Ride

[RichardT808]

Is anyone have issues with very rough, bouncing, harsh ride over anything except smooth roads? My Macan 4 seems to be a cross between a pogo-stick, roller coaster, and back compressor. Absolutely horrible ride quality. The demo I drove, and the turbo loaner both were smooth on the same roads.

Might be something wrong with your air suspension, this is usually the first sign (or a hissing sound).

Or shipping pucks left in the suspension.

And/or that during the pre-delivery inspection that the Tech forgot to lower the much higher PSI that they put into tires for ship transport. I once took a test ride and rejected the WRX immeidatel, just several blocks away as it rode like the tires were filled with concrete.

Turned out the PSI was 12 higher than it should have been (again failure of a PDI Tech to lower it for street use). With the 12 PSi removed, it rode nicely firm — just the way I wanted. I bought it.
