Installed Lowering Links - Question about car raising up when in motion
I have a question for those with lowering links:
Just put mine in according to proper and careful instructions. Car sits level, low, looks great. Did not throw any error messages/codes, and was only adjusted both front sides or both rears together at once, with car off and raising height lights off.
I am now noticing that the car raises up when beginning to drive from a complete stop to the highest "2 lights on for ABC raised level" height - automatically.
The car will also lower the front end to the proper "no lights on for the ABC button", lowest level when coming to a complete stop.
Car sits at the proper, zero lights on, low height when turned off/parked.
Why is it raising the front automatically when in motion?
I am going to try to reset the ECU today, but any other suggestions on how to make the ABC behave?
Thanks a ton!

You can see the height/angle of the hood change when slowing/stopping, and then elevate when pulling away from a stop sign.
I also stopped infront of a mechanic friend at his shop the other day, and he commented the car lowered itself after stopping.

Car is too low this is why this is happening. My car is lowere on links as well and sits really low if i drop it any lower it will do exacly what yours does, it could be the rear links that are too low for the front alone to rise. If a link pops out in the back you will get a msg on the gauge cluster that will say ABC issue or even no msg and the car will raise and lower
