S211 Self Leveling Rear Air

[c15htn]

Hi all

As predicted (by me) the rear right of the car is dropping over night..... and the passenger side did tries to follow it over a couple of days.

So, new bags bought..... many you tubes watched.
Do I really need fancy computers to get everything right or can it be fooled into working without ?
I've even seen some videos of someone replacing a bag, starting the car going for a drive and all is well - is this too good to be true?

Supposed to be tackling it tomorrow/ Thurs so any suggestions would be gratefully received (please)
Jim

Lower the car onto the wheels slightly, let the car compensate, rinse repeat until the weight is on the bags fully.

Don't lower the car fully onto the bags and let the car pump them up, this will ultimately damage them.

Brilliant thanks Alex....... is it OK to do both at the same time if I keep everything off the ground until ready?

Yes absolutely

Hi all....... did one today (the leaky one obvs!)... took a little while to realise it needed to pump itself up, but it does seem to have come up to within 1/4inch level across both sides.... I'll take that from a cheap Chinese bag.... and I think the other side will get done when the weather gets a bit friendlier.
Thanks for your advice peeps!

If you only replace one side, it will always be lopsided

How come Alex? The new bag sits a tad LOWER??????
