A couple weeks ago I replaced my rear bags with some new Arnott ones. FINALLY I can drive the car at lowered height without have it butt on the ground the next morning - I had to ride high to "seal" the leaks.
Anyway, since the day I purchased the car I have had a very hard time leveling it. I would think its right only to have it off a couple days later. Well during install I pulled the rear solenoids, which were pretty new, and let the compressor blow air to the outside to clear out the lines of any potential moisture.
Well I noticed the passenger side rear did not vent. The solenoid opened quietly but air barely flowed out. I took the line off and blew on it after disconnecting all the lines from the dryer. I could not get air through it.
My friend gave me some wire so I ran it through the line to look for an obstruction. It too time, but I found it. Apparently the factory line had a kink in it! Like when you have a loop in a garden hose and try to pull it straight. I cut the area out and used brake line couplers to fix the it.
Worked well. Rears work in unison and I can now get the car level really easily. Also it handles A LOT better. Before I was basically running with a missing spring in back. Now with the corner stiffened up the car corners really well again and dose not bounce around nearly as bad.
Just a little something I wanted to share. It seems it left the factory this way. Who knows, other could have this issue too, never know.
