The passenger's side front suspension starts to sag after sitting for a short period, Once the car is started and the suspension adjustment button is pressed, the ride height returns to normal and all is well.
I've already flushed/rodeo the system with fresh fluid and changed the filter but it did not solve the issue. From what I've read, it appears to be caused by the rubber o-rings deteriorating in the ABC valve blocks. All four struts and tandem pump are dry with no visible fluid leaks. Also, the fluid level in the reservoirs remain full.
Locating and removing the front/rear valve block doesn't appear to be a big job and they seem to be pretty easy to access. Are there any special tools/tricks/tips for replacing the o-rings that I should be aware of ahead of time?
Has anybody also bought a repair kit from ebay? if so which one?
there are lots of threads in regard to this topic but nobody has explained the removal of the block process, do i need to clamp the hoses or something? will the valve hold alot of pentosin, do i just go ahead and undo them or do i have to do something first?
thanks in advance guys
