Valve body cleaned
Hi,
My car was sagging on the front passenger side pretty much straight after shutdown so decided to follow forum advice and clean the valve body on the front, Took me about 2 hours to remove it and give it a clean. there was some dirt in the valve seats and some other slight gunk on the valves themselves. I put it back in and fired her up running the ABC up and down about 15 times. I have left it for about 36 hours now and it has not sunk one little bit. The only issue I have is that the passenger side sits 10-15mm lower than the drivers side and has done so before the cleaning. Also sits slightly lower when running. Could this be a weak strut perhaps? No leaks from this strut either. I also changed the to the new filter. Tomorrow I will change my rear strut as it is leaking fluid and also making a clunk when hitting bumps and will post my results when complete.Any ideas on the slight height difference?
Thanks
