Because the driver has a very wide range of ride heights. If he engages the compressor with a switch, he can raise the car off the ground further. However, if something is wrong and it rides low constantly, there may be a leak in the system somewhere.
is your car rear end low to the ground and does it air up and then go back down or doesnt air up at all?
What kind of vehicle is it? Sounds like you probably have an air ride problem. IF it has been sitting and it does have air ride on it the bags have probably dry rotted and it can't hold air anymore. You can try replacing air parts, but they are expensive and unreliable. Another alternative is to go and purchase a non air conversion kit. I tried Strutmasters and they helped me out tremendously. However, if you do not have air ride this won't work, you probably do though if the car is low and won't come up. Common air ride problem!
Air shocks on a Buick Park Ave are adjustable to give a smoother ride. If a shock or compressor fails, the rear of the car will sag an possibly drag on low road bumps.
The "Car Too Low" message on a Jaguar XJ8 typically indicates that the vehicle's air suspension system has detected a drop in ride height, which may be caused by a malfunction or a leak in the air suspension components. This could affect the vehicle's handling and ride quality. It's important to address this issue promptly, as driving with a low suspension can lead to further damage. A diagnostic check at a Jaguar service center is recommended to identify and resolve the underlying problem.
my town car is sitting low because the air suspension is high at times.
youre automatic air ride suspension went out it happens to alot of navigators/expeditions that came from the factory with rear air ride shocks
Your question is too broad. Is the car riding low? Just front, or just back or both? to high front and back
Low Ride was created in 1983.
Low air suspension refers to the fifth wheel height from the ground. The suspension system (low air leaf) is a suspension system with a lower ride height and is used by many transportation companies because it allows their truck to hook up to a variety of trailers. In modern days, low air leaf has been replaced with Flex Air suspension (low air leaf is still available). Flex air has the same ride height but weighs several hundred pounds less, thus allowing the truck to haul more weight in the trailer.
The air conditioner is low on refrigerant.
the air motor will not go on because you turned it off, its like your light in your house, it doesnt come on until you turn it on, sorry dont mean to sound like that.
You are low on coolant to the heater core.
