I am having trouble getting the right ride height on a 1988 Bentley Turbo which is currently sitting a 19" from the wing edge to the wheel centre! After trying the adjustments with the HCV with no results I replaced the HCV with one from FS no difference. The accumulators have been bled as have the rear struts. The height can come down to 18" but rises back up to 19"-20".
Any thoughts or reasons for this would be well received. Thank you, Clive Lungmuss

This may be (or may not be) significant.

The roll attitude is mostly dictated by the roll-stiffness of the front suspension. If there is a problem with the front suspension it may produce your symptoms??? Try checking the attitude with the rear jacked up under the diff.
