Default UAS Air bags- front right after parked is at lower psi levels? Leak?

So guys this is my first car with air bags. So Im going to be honest and just say I dont know ***** about air bag suspension systems. Ive noticed that once I park the car for long periods of time the front right bag would register at much lower psi, sometimes 0 psi. Im sure this is a leak, but it is some thing to be seriously concerned with?

Also is it common for UAS systems to sound kinda clunky at low psi's in the rear?

check ur valves and fittings, take ur wheel off and spray soapy water around the area and see if theres a leak, also are u running the basic valve setup or are u running a manifold type system, becuase if you have the regular valves, one time some kind of debri or whatever caused my valve to get stuck so it would leak slowly

sounds like a leak..

one thing many guys do is over tighten the fitting going into the bag.. what happens is the plate cracks.. and cuases a leak..

also check all the fitting conections with soapy water.. there might be a leak some where..

The car should nt leak down at all.

The rattleing sound is the poor fitment of the UAS mounts.. It dont fit well becuase its made one size.. We made mounts that actually fit the struts and no rattles at all. Also did you weld all the mounts or do you have them just sitting over the struts... this will cuase rattles..

I usally cut of the OEM perch



Thasn we press on our own mounts.. that fit the struts and tack weld them
