    Air spring issue??

    Hello All,

    Seems that it is time to change my air springs as yesterday when I stopped the car the left side sit fully down on the wheel! After starting the car again the height gone back to normal and kept this level overnight.
    This is the first time when this happens but since I own the car (more than a year now) the left side is always 10mm below the right one (when the engine is off). Could it also be the height sensor?
    Other question. If I order new bags, original LR or Dunlop is also ok?

    Thanks

    Unlikely to be height sensor related. Originals are best, Dunlop bags are fine. Replace both at the same time, you will do them in less than one hour.

    yes, this is what I also planned. next week I order new bags and change them.
    But what could be the reason of the 10mm height differance between the 2 sides?

    from a point of the bodywork to the ground. But if I look to the car from the back it is also visible that it slightly down on the left side...

    dunno,, maybe at full pressure the air escapes from the left bag, then as pressure declines it no longer leaks but has lowered slightly.
