Red face Suspension issues?

1991- the car will lift up and then you here the air
a hissing noise coming from one of the driver rear strut and then the
passeger side lowers also... does this mean that I need a whole new Air Suspension strut for the driver side? If so do I really have to purchase a new strut at $600?????????????????????????????????????????????????? OR COULD IT BE SOMETHING ELSE SIMPLE ...... PLEASE SAY SOEMTHEING ELSE SIMPLE

You might have a leak on the strut. It could be the line also. Both side will go down when one side is leaking. Find out what's leaking first. If that's the strut, then you can buy rebuild struts from herehttp://www.arnottindustries.com/part...arts_yid7.html

or you can switch to conventional shocks and springs.
