I've been dealing with the dreaded 'Air suspension Fault' and 'Ride too low' all month due to the extreme cold. The front hood rides low in these cases. However, today on the drive home the car tilted down on the drivers side.

When I got home my car was way high on the passenger side and way low on the drivers side! I'd been planning on doing the Arnot coil spring conversion soon but haven't had time to do it.

Has anyone actually seen their car tilt this way? (I thought it was only low front ends) Will it hurt the car if I drive side roads for 3 miles to work?

 

forgot to mention it is a 2006 Super V8 'Portfolio'

 

it sounds like the cold got you two. you can probably nurse it along for a short trip, but I'd be careful, it's riding on the bumpstops I assume.

One trick is to start it, let the compressor run for a few minutes until it stops, then turn it off and let the compressor run again; mine usually picks itself up on the 2nd try if it's not too cold.

*see some of the other posts here; you can also try to spray some soapy water around the tops of the shocks and air lines, see if you get bubbles. Best bet would be if it was just an o-ring at one of the air lines to the shock.

 

the cold gets my car every winter (this is my 4th year with this car). But it's always been the front of the car that drops. I've NEVER had it lean sideways

Typically, I just put it in my heated garage and it rises back up after 2-3 minutes. But this sideways thing is strange

 

Bite the bullet, do the conversion, lick your wounds (wallet) and this will be a nightmare you shall soon forget.

 

I went ahead and ordered the Arnott coil spring conversion kit (C-2290) today! Hope to have it here and installed by mid next week.
