Air ride Check

[ChriSS K]

Is there a good way to check this? The other day I felt like the evnoy was sagging on the passenger side. With the car off on flat ground I measured the distance from the ground to the body (center of wheel well) and was at 34" on the pass and 34 1/4" on the drivers. I know 1/4" isn't a very big difference, but what should it be? The tires are stock size and were equal in PSI. I would like to confirm the bags don't have a slow leak. Suggestions? Thanks

If the bag/bags are leaking, the measurement difference won't be consistent.

You can try adjusting the height sensors, but a 1/4" isn't bad.

What height distance would you consider to be big enough to look further into it? Is there a sensor that looks for this to throw a cell?

The shop manual says the side to side spec is 0.3" (8mm). You can adjust the sensors (in the wheel well) if you need more accuracy than this, but realistically, you'll be chasing tiny variations if you go down this frustrating road. The sensors are easy to over adjust.

The compressor has its own way of flashing trouble codes that involves the LED at the inflator switch panel. It cannot communicate to the PCM to set a CEL.
