Rookie
After I replaced the compressor, the front end maintains it's proper road height, but the compressor cycles on about 5 to 10% of the time.
The vehicle will stay at its normal road height even when left undriven through week ends.
There is no audable indication of an air leak.

EnthusiastYou have to set the ride heights and normalize that system with the Star Diagnostic system. Then you can also check for leaks in the system with that same diagnosic unit!
