Bouncy front ride, low front ground clearance

[Koroll]

Hello everyone, maybe someone has had this problem.

When I bought this 2014 Equus a few months ago.
The back end was higher than the front, drove fine, put 4k miles on it.
Saw a video on utube, on how to reset air suspension.
Did that a few times... now the back end is normal height.
Now the front sits even lower, has a bouncy ride in the front, bottoms out pretty easily as well.
The height section inside the car does not give me the option to raise the car, only normal height.
Took off front bumper, sprayed soapy water on all suspension lines and struts, does not seem to be any leaks.
The ESC light is not on.

Is the suspension just low on air?
I see the port where air can be injected.
How do you get the air in?

Thanks for any advise.

Scott

Hello Scott, welcome to the forum!

Sorry to hear about your air suspension issues. That's the biggest thing about our cars...it's not if, but when your suspension will fail. There are 2 options which are popular on here to fix the suspension issue:

• Air Suspension Conversion Kits, Suspension Parts, Air Struts - Strutmasters- For people who want a static replacement and don't want to deal with air any longer
  • This option will cause a warning light on the dash
    
    
• Rebuild Master Tech Air Suspension, Engine Parts & More... - For those who want OEM refurbished suspension components

Keep us posted on which way you go!

I ended up replacing both front Air Struts. Worked great for 3 months. Now drivers side has rattling going on inside the strut. Dash light on everyday, after 5 minutes of driving. Disappointed in the remanufactured struts... Looking to change the whole system struts and springs...

Sorry to hear. I went with my 2nd option myself a couple weeks ago and things are like new.
