Joe, glad to hear your issue was resolved as we suspected with the air compressor! Could you update the thread post to say SOLVED when you get a chance, helpful to other members!
And yes when I first bought my X the air suspension was a nightmare, I spent 1300 bucks on fixing the air ride between finding a new compressor and replacing the air struts with Arnott units.
However for the past year the air ride has been flawless knock on wood, and I love the ride with it, as well as the ability to lower when I want to
When the air suspension works, its great! But getting it up to snuff usually costs a few bucks up front!
Enjoy your working air ride again, so glad to hear you got credit for the original part that was replaced back again.
