Air Suspension
My 04 RX makes a clicking noise when the air suspension is in operation. I noticed it when I tried to lower the car while on freeway. Also, my car has "Quick Access" mode where the car drops ~1" when put in PARK for easy access, I could hear the clicking noise that lasts no more than a minute. Has anyone with air suspension have the same experience? Should I take to dealer's attention? Thanks once again guys!!!

1. use both ur hands. stick your index finger in your ear.
2. if the noise is still there push the index fingers even deeper in ur ears.
3. if you still hear the noise... move away from your rx appx. 30 ft.
if all else fails... sell it n get a new rx. good luck.

Thanks. I am merely asking folks with air suspension if it is normal. If you read carefully, nowhere did I mention it being annoying. I love my RX as much as you do. Thanks for taking time to reply!!
