Default Loud pop, and then car to low message

I was driving the car yesterday and heard a loud pop, I did not hit a pot hole or anything, then I got a message that the car is to low.

the pop was on the driver side front and no that side is sitting very low. Of course I can’t see anything in there with the car being low and the tire in the way.

Sounds like your air bag strut went nighty nite. Will need to replace the entire strut.

Blew a air spring. I would offer you one of the several used ones i have but when i did that with a set of injectors on another thread, i was accused of giving advise based on parts i have for sale. So you dont need a air spring in front and i have several. Or you do need a air spring but i dont have any! If that made sense pm me

Replace both front shocks while your there, is what many of us do.

Almost spit coffee all over my laptop. If I did, I might hit you up for a spare, of which I wouldn't need one. Or I might have needed one, of the things you don't have. This is how we all spoke about drugs in the 60's and 70's. Code. Super-secret-indecipherable code. Pretty sure Nixon had a whole department dedicated to breaking it.

not me. these cars are to the point that many just want me to convert them away from air suspension. Tired of throwing good money at a constant problem.
