Airmatic Front suspension refresh question
Hello folks
I'm planning to do a full front suspension refresh, and as our cars have air suspension in the 4 corners, Im wondering which is the right car height to tight the bushings.
Im planning to measure the height from the center of the wheel center cap to the fender, then after replacing all the suspension components on one side I can use a jack to raise the lower control arm until the measurement beetween the center of the axle to the fender matches previous measurement with the wheel on.
Now the question is which is the right height measurement:
1- Engine running after returning from a drive
2- Engine off before starting the car in the morning.
3- Engine runnig on Sport
4- Engine running on Sport +
5- Engine running on Comfort
I drive normally on Confort and I have noticed when I park the car on the garage and doors open and close the car releases some air and gets a little more lowered.
I dint see references on WIS related to which is the resting height.
Thanks in advance
