Left Rear Air Suspension Went Out - Quick Question

alextaylor29 · 05-25-2012, 12:47 AM

Peeps,

My left year air suspension went out and luckily the extended warranty covered everything. (Whoohoo!) $2,500 later I have a question for you. Everything seems fine now but the entire car now seems to sit quite a bit higher. What I mean by this is there appears to be much more clearence between the tires and the wheel well than I recall.

Could there be a, "Settling in period" when they replace one of the airbags and the car will drop a bit or am I stuck with this?

The car rides nicely, no issues and I suppose having a bit higher ground cleareance especially with my LTB Headers with hang a bit lower might be helpful.

It just looks a bit, "Funny" if that makes any sense.

Any advice is welcome and if I have to live with this, I certainly can!

Thanks as always.

Alex

You can always lower the rear via star.

Sorry not sure what this means?

I took it to AZ AutoHaus today and he said it looks like the put it back to stock ride height. As I bought it used originally it is possible that the previous owner had it lowered via Stars system.

I'm going to keep it as is for now with advice I recieved today. If it bugs me I can always lower it later.

Thanks.

Alex
