Front Air Strut Problems!

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: KainDTE

Well heres what happens... At first i thought my front air struts were leaking because the car would lower to the ground in the front sometimes when I turned the car off.. then I realized that sometimes it lowers itself that low when im just drivin around... Well heres the problem, I though i had a leak in both struts BUT sometimes the car stays up for hours on end I read that if it goes down within 8 hours you most likely have a leak but sometimes it will stay up all night... any help will be appreciated Thanks!

It's the bags.

the rubber is still able to hold air sometimes, but can't when the conditions are right. After a while of them being like that, they will get to the point they won't hold air any longer.

Keep in mind, your putting more and more strain on the suspension compressor, the longer you drive it like this. Eventually it WILL go out.

The module goes to sleep an hour after the ignition is turned off. If the vehicle falls after this time....you have a leak. http://www.americanairsuspension.com...0one%20day.htm
