You already know "Airmatic"
OK, don't shoot me, I already know. But I notice my car has been sitting rather low lately, and doesn't ride as comfortable. Over the weekend I noticed if more than 2 people are in the car the rears rub alot and I can't get a finger in there now. Sometimes the car is raised sometimes its not. It looks as though I may have a leak in the back, because its starting the slap when I go over bumps. I hate the "Stealership" How can I check where to pinpoint leaks myself? I know the pump is good, its doing its job, but I don't want it to burn itself out, and yeah the system won't hold enough pressure to raise the car when I press the button. Any and all help would be appreciated.....o yeah and no cracks in the fronts struts its the rear i'm worried about. help
Or what about? Converting to coils??Price??

I have this exact same issue at the moment, rear end all sloppy and the wheels scraping if i load excess weight in.
Took it for a diag and they have told me that my pump isnt making enough pressure, thanks for confirming that this is what you had diagnosed too as i was worried that it wasnt going to solve the issue. Replacing the pump is a lot more than $600 over here
