They are the same thing, people kinda use them interchangeably

Could be. The airbags develop little cracks- which can open up or close up depending on how the suspension is loaded or how the airbags sit at the moment. Hanging from the lift can lead to a leak. Not really a 'cause' per se, but a factor in exposing the failure.

Classic symptom- the bags loose air and it tilts. But then after you start the compressor will pump it back up. It may be back down in the AM, or it may have 'self healed' and may not show a tilt for days or weeks.
But you know what to do. New bag almost surely. |
