I have a *different* suspension problem
Maybe you guys can shed come light on this:
If I don't start my '01 ar for two or three days, the car drops to the lowest suspension position and the leveling indicator warning light (the up/down arrow) flashes for a few minutes until the car rises to level 1. I can then manually raise it to any other level. This is NOT a case of one part of the car sinking lower than the others. (i.e. a leaky airbag)
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think the air line from the compressor to the manifold...
(under the car) may be a fault. IMO check the fitting under the ar that attaches this airline. A little soapy water in a spray bottle will help. If you don't have bubbles, gently follow the airline with your hand back to wher it goes in the car. you may hear/feel the leak.
If nothing then go into the fender well in the rear when the tank is. Spray the fitting with the soap solution.
If you find nothing, the park you car overnight in level 4. In the morning see if it has settled a bit. Reapeat each night with a lower setting. Keep in mind you are only looking for a slight difference each night. Check each corner with a ruler if you need to and keep a log.
