Default Help with my F55

Have had the car for three weeks now. The ride seems spongy at high speeds in the corners. Took the car back to the dealer and asked to check to make sure the stuffers were removed. On the lift the yellow tabs were still there. The mechanic said the stuffers were not there. I asked if he had let the wheels hang down when he performed this procedure. He said no. So does that mean the stuffers are still their? I am taking it back on Tuesday.
Please help with some info so I can explain what they have to do.
Thanks

There is a service bulletin with subject: "Informational -- New Vehcile Preparation for Magnetic Selective Ride Control."
Mine were not removed and the ride was bumpy. The rear end was pushing back.
I had no yellow tags - they were gone, but the stuffers were still there.
Its a white plastic socket ca 1.5" high, that sitts under the plastic shock cover.
- If you put your hand behind your front wheel, you can definintly feel it underneath the dust boot. There are four of them and you need to jack the car up to get them out without damaging the black dust boot.
I'll try to post a pic.
Thanks

Can't figure out how to post pics, but here are some links that should work... http://home.attbi.com/~vette03/Stuffers.jpg http://home.attbi.com/~vette03/Bulletin-p1.jpg http://home.attbi.com/~vette03/Bulletin-p2.jpg
Let me know if they work.
Thanks

I wonder how many people are driving around with the temp bushings in there because of incompetent dealer service. :rolleyes:
