bwoods Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I just bought a '96. It has the adjustable suspension. When I turn it on "high," visually it doesn't do anything. Is it supposed to raise it a little bit, or am I misinterpreting the manual? Does it just firm up the suspension? The manual sure makes it sound like it is supposed to raise it. How do I know if it is working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I know if it is working? yeah, when it is on 'high' the car raises up a little bit. also firm up suspension in sports mode. BTW, do you know the previous owners replaced any of the 4 air shocks? FYI, each one cost over $1,000.00 ; When to tell they are bad? the car will sag to the corner of the bad air shock; usually you will see it in the morning. Be aware!! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono8ono Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I used to have a '91 LS with air suspension (right rear air shock failed at 69K miles ! that when I learnt my lesson :( ) and there is not really that much difference with the normal or sports mode ride to me. Well ; to who ever thinking of getting a LS: STAY AWAY FROM THE AIR SUSPENSION OPTION, regardless how good the car looks! Otherwise, sooner or later it will cost you big time!

The front air shocks on my 92 will sink if left undriven within a 24+ hour period. But start it up and the suspension will go back to normal height. At one point, it was permanently stuck on "HIGH" and I somehow managed to coax it back to normal. Somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
