Air Suspension Problem
Hey Guys,
I lowered my car with links and the fronts are perfect but having problem with the rear. The sensor doesn't seem to to point up as the directions say. They bend towards the front of the car. Anyone with suggestions please help! When car is off the jacks it drops the car all the way down like its on lowrider status.

I'm not clear on what you did to the car. Was the air suspension having problem before you jacked it up? Is there a warning message on the dash? Did you start the car and see if the suspension goes back up? Did you hear the airmatic pump running when the door is open?

The car was fine before. There's no warning on the dash... I will take it to a automotive shop see if they can do it..

The link on the sensor is not in the right position. I had the same issue when I did my links. The adjustable rod connects to a 'pivot joint' on the sensor. The pivot point on yours is pointed down, which is why your car is dropping so much. You'll have to take the 2 bolts off the sensor and push the pivot point up and then rebolt the sensor. You won't have any problems after that is done.
