Air suspension failure
Pulled into the garage this afternoon and heard a loud whistling noise, air escaping, left front collapsed. What the hell happened???? "Stop car too low warning came on" Took it to the dealer, now I am driving a R500!!

I had the "visit workshop" airmatic message error "B22"coming on between 72k-78" -(thats how long it took the dealer to "figure out" the problem)
valves,struts,harness changed..now the carr is just off warranty so i am hoping the the message wont show up again.
PS:the car still sits lapsided when its parked.The dealer said ,it is normal on the air suspention

They'll either replace the air strut or one of the pneumatic lines. It's no big deal, really.
And NO, they do not need to be replaced in pairs.

I thought it looked damn good too. Unfortunately it was accompanied by the visit workshop message. Plus, the other side of the car was at near normal height

Due to fricking terrorism I will not receive my strut from Germany for 3 more weeks as it must be sailed on a ship due to it containing harzardous materials. I could meet DerekFSU this weekend if I had my ride intact.
