Temperature dependent sagging
Hello Everyone,
My '04 CL55 has one corner that sags at different rates depending on the ambient temperature. At 70 degrees and above I can leave it in my garage for almost a month before the one corner starts sagging, and it takes about a day or so before it has achieved a "full sag". If I take it to work at colder temperatures (40 degrees or less ) that corner will sag completely in less than 3 hours. Does anyone else have this happen ? From what I've read, it seems that the locking valve is the likely culprit. I haven't pulled it out to confirm that. Is a o-ring / anti-x ring replacement the cure for this ?
Thanks,
AZmlcl
