Hello All,
I noticed about 6 months ago my rear suspension would lower to the rear bump stops overnight.
I assumed this was caused by a slow air leak but wasn’t an urgent problem as the suspension height is continually adjusted when the car is in use. I mentioned to my mechanic at service but said he couldn’t find anything and would need to keep it overnight to investigate.
The problem seems to have got worse now which can be good as it will be easier to find the leak/problem but doesn’t seem to be consistent
The car can sometimes fully lower in less than hour and at other times stay up the whole day when I am at work. It doesn’t seem to be related to the angle it is parked on as far I can see.
I have sprayed all the connections that I can get to with soapy water and can’t see any leaks.
My next plan is to crimp of airlines with vice grips to isolate areas of the system to see if I can identify a different lower rates to pinpoint where the leak is.
Has anybody had similar issues and if so what did the cause of the problem end up being?
