Air suspension question

[andrewwynn]

Yes you have leaking air springs.

It's about 1 hour job to replace each side. I think shock options more likely to change the firmness of the suspension (at the cost of handling).

Would leaky air springs cause the the suv to droop on one side over night ? After I turn the car on it automatically levels and then drives fine. I do hear the pump turning on but it turns on, levels the truck and then turns off and works fine. What could be the issue ?

My understanding is leaking air springs would either keep the pump on or eventually the cad would drop back to one side.

had this exact issue a few years back, was the right side air spring but replaced BOTH (as recommended). Took me 45+ plus on side and less than 20 min the other.

note that although the compressor may fill the bag when starting the car and re-level it, is not designed to operate that way; this could lead to a compressor failure which is much much more expensive and difficult to repair.

Suggest to change the springs soon (after confirming the issue)
