Can the Rotary Coupler affect the air suspension?

Hi guys

Recently changed all wishbones, disks etc. Sent to a Landrover approved garage for 4 wheel alignment (Used before and found very good service).

Anyway, when i picked it up I had all the symptoms of the Rotary Coupler giving up, so I sent it back and they told me thats what was wrong and they would give me a quote on replacing it! Even though it had happend while it was there. A few days after, the suspension was throwing the amber fault light and not allowing any other height. I have started it up some days and driven a few miles before it comes on and I've noticed that it usually happens whilst cornering!

Would this be a coincidence or is it linked? My thought that there was a ride height sensor fault.


Cheers Wil where theres a wil theres a way!

my thoughts is its not been set up correctly Whistle

I.E steering angle sensor checked and calibrated,ride heights checked and calibrated then the veh set in tight tolerance mode Question

So will it have to go through another alignment or can I change it just on diagnostics? where theres a wil theres a way!

I had the printout of it and everything was set to within tolerance. Could it be that they didnt tighten everything up or that a sensor has gone somewhere?

If the steering wheel is not straight, the steering angle sensor can flag a code, or if it was off centre & recalibrated as such, then straightening it would also cause a fault.
Or it could be a height sensor that has got upset which sometimes happens when they are disturbed.
I suggest you take it back & ask them to read the fault codes then decide on the best course to retify.

Regards
