Default Air bags problem

One of my wheel does not stay up. I adjusted to the correct height when I leave my house, and by the time I drive out for 10 minutes I start feeling every bumps on the road. When I get out to check out the car it's always the same wheel dropped all the way down.

One thing I have to point out is that all sides stay up when the car is still. My quick fix right now is to keep giving air on that one wheel when I drive out. What is the problem?

Thx

Start checking your valves and lines, next check your cylinder.

Confirmed it is the cylinder... the cylinder does not drop when it is all the way up.

Thanks Din! My neighbor is taking care of the cylinder for me. I'll come by for a visit when the car is safe to drive.

The paint.. the life of the paint was since 2003. It was sitting outside my friend's house for 4 yrs untouched. After a good wash and looks amazing again. I can't wait to take it to the beach for a cruise.

You should try clay baring the whole car then washing and waxing it if you havent done so.
