Car raises when in park?

Whenever I have my car on and on park for a while, I notice that it raises and then drops back down when I put it back to drive. My car is lowered on links and Im basically maxed out. My car raised up like a 4x4 then dropped back down. This wasn't the first time ether. Have any of you guys had this happen before and would like to explain why its doing that

Maybe one of the sensors got messed up when you installed the lowering links? Mine doesn't do that but its lowered using the module.

I guess I'm not the only one! My 02 cl55, 04 cl500 and cl65 all have had lowering links. The 65, no problem. My current 500 does it and my old 55 did it.
The first time, it freaks you out! I have no idea why

I just got my abc pump replaced. My car would do the same before abc took a dump. Tech adv that car raising is a sign of pump going out. Cars computers knows system is loosing pressure so for safety it raises to highest level. Hope I don't scare you

i'd wait till you get a warning message before replacing the pump. i your paranoid have someone check with the star diag. system.

Waiting until you get that message could easily cost you a couple hundred, if not thousands, more.

Abc pump replacement isn't cheap. If your going to replace. Wait till abc light ones on. That way it's worth the fix.
