ABC Issues... Again...

Im really starting to lose my love of this car. After replacing the ABC pump and struts on the passenger side of the car, four months ago, I'm starting to get "ABC Drive Carefully" warnings again. When parked for more than a day, the passenger side of the car sinks down to almost touching the tire. Going over minor bumps also trigger the Tuna Boat bounce. Any advice would be grateful. Unfortunately, the Stealership won't be able to look it over for diagnosis until next week.

Curious how many miles you have on the car and how frequently you drive it? When parked, where do you leave the height setting?

I just crossed 100k and drive about 400 miles in a month. I normally keep the car at the low setting and rarely adjust the suspension.
