ABC issue - Valve block ?

Hi guys,

I've noticed that my car sinks from time to time but only rear right side to the extent that tire is almost at the level of right rear wheel arch.
I see this issue on average once in ~7 days and I drive the car daily. I also tried to top off the ABC fluid but looks like it didn't help.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks !

Changing the ABC fluid might help, but its probably down to worn or contaminated seals in the rear valve block. Sounds like you just need keep an eye on it - maybe cycle the suspension up and down a few times to get the fluid moving around.

Thanks guys, I'll keep an eye on it and will flush ABC fluid and change filters when my next service is due.
