Default Air Suspension Problem

Hi, i'm new to the forums, i've had a 1994 LS 400 for about 8 months, its Fully loaded and came with everything, as I was driving my car on the highway the other day my car suddenly dropped in the rear, and any tiny little bump I hit my car would bounce like it had hydraulics. Only the rear of the car is completely lowered the front end of the car is still raised. Ive turned the switch off and back on, and nothing happens at all. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if its an easy fix or am I about to be spending about $1k on the suspension, any info or help would be really appreciated. I will take pics of the car soon and post them back up to show you whats going on. thx for all help

i've seen the rear air struts online for cheap... forgot if it was ebay or arnott. either way, i can't see spending about 1k for one strut so i'm just gonna replace all 4 with shocks n springs. i just need to find a set of top mounts. good luck on whatever u decide.
