ABC Weirdness

I was parked today with the car idling for about 20 minutes while I talked on the phone. Twice during that 20 minutes the driver's side rear popped up to the full ride height and then went right back down. Just the one strut though like it was starting a rodeo. I ran through the ride heights and that performed normally. I drove it home and it didn't do it at all while driving.

Anyone ever seen this? Could it be a valve block thing? Or maybe a sensor is going bad? It was hotter out today than it has been recently.

I have this identical issue. I've always assumed it's the valve block.

Do you get sag after a few days? I do.

I haven't had any sag. But it could still be a valve. I replaced all the accumulators and most hoses but didn't do the valve refurb.
