Front end lift on my 458 is making a weird grinding noise, anyone had this fixed locally?
Had a bit of a heart stopping moment pulling into the Jumeirah Beach Hotel driveway yesterday, went to activate the front lift to clear the speed humps and instead of the usual quiet whirr there was this awful grinding sound from the passenger side and the nose only came up about halfway, and of course the valet is standing there waiting and I'm just trying not to look as panicked as I felt while I backed out slowly and parked somewhere else. The car still drives fine at speed and the suspension seems okay otherwise but I know ignoring hydraulic issues on these things is a fast track to a much bigger bill when the pump burns out or a line bursts. I've been trying to find a shop in Dubai that actually knows the Ferrari lift system and won't just tell me to replace the whole strut assembly at some astronomical cost, and while I was searching I came across this page https:suspensionrepairdubai.ae/ferrari-suspension-repair which at least lists the common failure points for the 458 and California so they seem to have seen this before. I'm just trying to gauge if anyone here has dealt with a similar issue and if a rebuild of the actuator or a seal replacement is actually a viable fix versus just throwing a new part at it and hoping for the best. Really not trying to have this turn into a two month saga while the car sits on a lift waiting for parts from Italy.
