Rear Suspension Sagging.. After Work Done To It
Okay so iv been having the problem where it squeeks, jumps and etc... Pretty much a harsh ride over all..
So i took it and got the rear Accummilators replaced and bled the whole system.. It was good for about 2 weeks and it was high off the ground..
But it started sagging again and makeing the squeeks again..but not so bad on the squeeks.. But really bad sagging problem..
Things im thinking could wrong is
1. The Springs
2. The Control Arms..
Im not sure what else.. I asked the mechanic if my shocks were leaking.. they said NO.. so im kinda lost here..
I would appreicate any help i can get.
Thank You

I would first check the rear leveling switch. There is a chance that it was not secured after bleeding off the system. Just put the rear tires on ramps and crawl under. You should see the switch just in front of the rear axle on the left side, just over the exhaust. If they did not tighten the bolt well enough, it could have slipped and it would result in the rear going down (sagging). Move it up and the rear should raise (with the car running), if it doesn't then something in the hydraulics are bad (could be low fluid level, accumulators. shocks or one or all leaking).
