Air Ride Malfunction pumps up when running - rear end goes down when parked.
What is your question?
The Air Ride was letting the car lower in the Front when parked and pump up when I start the car, now it is letting the rear lower to sitting on tires when parked, then pumps up the rear when the car is running. Is it Safe to drive the car if the Air Ride pumps up the rear if the car is running. I need to drive it 30 miles to the repair shop.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Deflates when parked over night.

Probably, if the tires are not making contact with the vehicle. I drove around with leaking front struts for over a year, but ultimately destroyed the compressor that is not designed for continuous operation. The air ride system releases air from the struts after it has been in park for a while but not all the air, leaks in the system do the rest.
Sorry, I missed the 2018 date on old thread.
