Right Rear Wheel Keeps Dropping

As I read about all the gremlins Airmatic potentially bring, the right rear wheel keeps dropping.

Is this because my children keep accessing the third row? Or is this the beginning of the end for the spring? It's been quite cold here the last couple of days, about -26C / -15F. Would this affect it?

Neither of those should affect it. Diagnosis the way that I'm sure you have read about. Haven't done a read air bag, yet (only did a front) - but from what I've read (and assume you have), they're easier than the front and less expensive. They're a rubber product - just like all other cars that have a similar setup. The rubber eventually fails since it wears out, just like tires and other rubber items.

Rear bags are very easy to change, if it's leaking down, replace it before it fries your compressor from pumping it back up every day. Do the pair, as the left one is just as old as the right and won't last too much longer.
