X5 suspension

[kathy]

My 2003 X5 has that feature that raises and lowers the car with the push of a button. REcently I went out and saw that my car was 1 1/2 inches lower on the left side.

The dealer didn't have a clue, and ended up replacing the suspension on the left.

It is still droping on the left side if I don't drive it every day.

The dealer doesn't have a clue.

Has anyone had this problem, and if so, what causes it?

You could have a leak in your pneumatic suspension?It may be a pipe leading to your left suspension!Can you see any signs of a leakage?Has the dealer checked your Air supplies?

[kathy]

Yes, they actually replaced the suspension on the left side but it is still doing it.

take it to another dealer.

ditto

you have an air level suspension problem caused by a slow leak. it could be at the distribution block inside in the back where the air pump is.

I forgot one thing, maybe very important....when you start the car up it levels out?

Does that change anybody's theory of a leak in the suspension?

Steved had a very similar problem on his 4.8is. Turned out to be a bad control module.

I have the same problem with my car, when I turn the key to ON it levels itself out. Does that rule out the pneumatic spring itself!? What should I be looking for? It takes about a day or two for it to sag down completely.

thx!!

That proves that there is a leak.
