Wheezy (?) Airmatic Suspension?
Hello, all.
My 2020 wagon with airmatic seems to wheeze (or slosh?) once in awhile (rear driver side only) when the suspension is really flexed. I've noted it when going over a certain speed bump at an angle, which might introduce some body flex, and is also quite measurably notable on one really bad road in Vancouver BC. Be warned, drivers on Water Street in Gastown. It's a minefield! It's only one of the four corners that makes noise, the rest are fine, which would suggest to me that something is up.
I'll be taking it in for regular maintenance soon and will mention it to the service department, and I'm wondering if what I'm describing has been experienced much by other drivers, or instead whether I'm just "special".

rear airmatic
Your rear air suspensions are just trying to get your attention.
Bring your wallet for the service job of valves, airbags and compressor.
Get it serviced before winter weather has a chance to freeze the water condensate.
