03 navigator suspension sag

[canadiangator]

hello fellow lincoln owners!
I was directed over here by the nice folks at ford-trucks.com
I got a 03 navigator ultimate version

I've been noticing that my suspension sags on the passenger side after the trucks been parked for a while. When I start the truck the compressor kicks in and brings the truck up to normal. I brought it in to the dealer and after 100$ and 1 hour of my time they said they where unable to find anything out. I did check for leaks with the soap and water and came up with nothing. I was told by a few people there is a height adjusting sensor on these vehicles that might possibly be not working properly. Any help is really appreciated!

thanks!

you need to check the arms where they attach to the ball studs, they fall off easily, Ford has new parts available

A bag has to be leaking somewhere.......did you look for the tiny little bubbles, sometimes you have to spray it and walk away for 5 minutes then come back and look again......:confused:

Might be a short in the solenoid wiring causing the solenoid to open and release air when it isn't supposed to? Just a thought. Usually you can see cracks in the rubber of the air spring when it is extended before it degrades to the point of leaking.
