Front of the car too low
I searched the threads but could not find an answer.
The front of my car falls low after I park the car. However it rises up after I put it on gear and start driving. No warning light is on.
Does anyone have any suggestions on why and what to do
Thanks

front to low
I hope this is not your problem, but it sounds like your ABC that raises the vehicle has a leak that is gradually lowering car while it sits idle the pump starts once car is started up and it lifts up, I had same problem just before i had to replace strut, pump/w motor cost $1700, check and see if button on dash that lifts car display constant two little red lights in button. if they are lid their is a leak somewhere. also their is a piece in front driver's side near wheel where you can hear sound of air escaping check all areas around tires for sound of leak once you shut down car
that may just be a replacement line that send fluid to strut

Please go to sticky at top and read all about air suspension. If you need parts, go to the sources listed and find a decent independent shop to install them for you. If you wait too long, the pump and valve block will "work too hard" and evenutally give way too.
Best of luck!

I could not find what I am looking for in Sticky's posts. And yes I have ABC not Airmatic. I checked as per la22bay's suggestion and there is no constant two red lights on the button on the dash that lifts the car up. They light up when I press the button and the button in deed functions. Furthermore I could not hear a leaking sound after I shut down the engine (perhaps the leak is to little to hear) and there is no mark of oil leak on the floor either.
So still dont know exactly where the problem is.
