4.8is Front Suspension

Ok so i found the front of the X on the floor over the weekend,so i lifted it with the compressor and found that the left air shock was leaking,i could'nt find any leaks on the drivers side. Would the faulty left shock possibly make the system drop the front of the car as a whole ?

yes, that's what happened to mine. The bmw mechanic I went to, had to hook up their computer and clear the error and raise it back up after replacing the strut.

Suggest you purchase rebuilt struts from Arnott Industries in Florida. I did both of mine - pretty easy to re & re and pricing waaaaaaaay better than OE stuff.
