ADS problem on W220 spring
I posted about this a while back but started a new thread anyway so if some one else runs into this issue they will know how to fix it. Simply right side bilstine air spring was not leaking but the ads in the unit was not working IE no damping from the spring. So any kind of rut in the road would cause wheel hop so bad it would rattle the Sh*t out the dash. In my paranoia I read feverishly about the issue but kept coming up short. Ruled out a leak with soapy water. Parked the car for a week no sagging. (got 2 speeding tickets on the motorcycle in that week) so the valve block seems to be working? So I just got my re ferb Arnott and hopefully that fixes the issue.

Let us know if the arnott solves it
Never heard of an airmatic strut that provided no damping while at normal height
the only time they provide no damping is when the air leaks out and your car is slammed on the ground, or when they lock in the fully extended position
