ashraf Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 A MacPherson strut as found on your front suspension has a shock with a concentric spring (the spring is around the shock). You have struts in front. You have shocks in the back. You have an air pump on the back shocks. The purpose of the air support is to compensate for if you put a lot of luggage in the trunk. If your drivers side front is slanted down, I believe you have a bad/sagging SPRING, not STRUT. The FRONT strut controls MOVEMENT not LEVEL. You have computer controlled air shocks in the back that are filled with a compressor behind the RR wheel. If you have a leak in the rear, both rear shocks will drop not one side. Tell us the history of this car, has any work been done to the front suspension to permit/allow the 20" wheels? Have the springs been CUT/Modified? If you are sagging in the front, there are very few reasons for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
