    L322 Front Suspension has mind of its own

    That is excellent info Thank you. where is that table from? a valve stuck open could result in a rise to full height then unsticks so it drops i supose. This does seem the be front both sides so 2 corner valves stuck ? either way that would be front valve block?

    L322 Front Suspension has mind of its own
