I got my CPO 04 UL with 65k miles and shortly thereafter I had to replace my right rear corner. I have 125k now and no issues at all so far....hope to keep it a lot longer.

Unless technology changes drastically, there are 2 things that I have ruled out on automobiles. Air suspension and forced induction. Both are big, expensive fixes waiting to happen.

Question

For those that have air ride and switched to either aftermarket coil overs or factory coils, did you have to do anything electrical like with the height sensors or compressor to avoid an MIL for the air ride?

Currently looking at two UL's and just want to plan ahead if/when they fail.

To avoid errors from the air suspension ECU you leave the height sensors in place and pull the fuse for the air compressor. This is all that needs to be done.
