Im trying to figure out something on my electronic suspension. the back is visibly lower than the front, if i sit on the trunk, the compressor would kick in and whir for awhile, then shut off, but doesnt lift up. the front stays up high, with the wheel trim about 6-7 inches above the tire. can anyone help?

perhaps a leak in the suspension control line? or in the pump/compressor?

but if the pump stops, that means its pressurized to the height it wants to. if there was a leak, the pump would keep running itself to an early death.

It sounds to me like your compressor got killed. What probably happened is that the airbag got a hole or tiny crack in it so the compressor has to work extra hard because it is like blowing up a balloon with a hole in it. Therefor the airbag killed the compressor. I would recommend going to strutmasters.com and taking a look at our conversion kits. these convert you from the airbag to a powder coated American made steel coil spring that is guaranteed to last the life of the car. I added the link below so you can check it out.

I hope I was of some help

Good Luck!!!
