Sounds like one of the air shocks took a dump. Look up Arnott for a replacement.

You can send them your core and get a rebuilt one from them for significantly less than new, correct?

That might just be for the fronts. Their rear units are completely their own design (and imho, much better than the oem's).

Yep, looks like no core charge on the rears.

Check to make sure your rear airmatic sensor is still in place before ordering the airbags. Another member just recently had his rear drop and it turned out to be a plastic clip that cost less than a dollar.

Good point but that would cause both sides to drop, not just the right.

Is the sensor your referring to the ride height sensor? My one side seems to be dropping more then the other (rear) are these two connected via air lines? or is the sway bar just pulling the other down making it seem like its deflating…. It happens after about 12 hours or so it standing. Im thinking its a leaky air bag, won't know till my mechanic has time to take me in. Just trying to do some research before I take it in.

There's only a single ride height sensor for the rears, lh side above the diff. Air lines for both shocks run from a valve block near it, so if only one side is down I'd be thinking leaky air bag as you mentioned.

Sounds like a slow air bag leak. Do you hear the compressor running for a while, after you shut off the car?>

Can't say that I do. Although I do here it cycling a couple of times to raise it when it's been stationary for a while. Has anyone had problems with any of the plumbing in particular? (Air hoses ) trying to find a point to start at.

Mine also drops in the rear after being parked for a while. I always thought it was normal, but it has been happening sooner these days. Guess I have a small air leak I need to look for.....

Also, if you do end up having to purchase the Arnott set, Advanced Auto sells it for $5 more than Arnott, but you can usually find a coupon code that drops the price $50 or so.
