Airmatic issue. Front strut stiff

GL350

I changed out the rear airbags due to a leak, and since the compressor was noisy I went ahead and replaced it and the valve block.

Before I did this it rode great, just sagged in the rear due to air bag leak.

Afterwards it rides very very bad. If you hit a small bump in the front it feels like the tire is welded to the frame.

It holds position when left alone for days so no leaks.

It may only be passenger front that is stiff, hard to tell. Front struts/air springs were fine before I worked on it.

Think I got a bad new valve block that’s not letting the front strut air down? Or maybe just a bad front strut?

Thoughts?

Thanks!!
