Vehicle Sags

2011 X5 , Lately when my vehicle sits overnight it sags on the rear drivers side. As soon as I start it up it goes back up and vehicle is level. Any thought? Bad valve maybe . Any ideas on cost ?

Did the vehicle alert you to this problem?

I've sometimes thought my X5 listed to the right every so slightly when parked in my garage - the dealer checked it out and said everything looked good with the airbags. My SA also said warning messages would display/alert me if the bags really were leaking…not sure if that's true?

Here you go, you can either do it yourself, or buy the part and have the shop do it for you

it was around six hundred at the dealer. cheaper to do yourself.

I had a leak and no message showed up.

good job on the thread!

does anyone know if the air bags are deflated is it OK to drive the car for short distances?

i'm unsure if I can get to this job myself, currently time poor, so may need local indy to do the job for me.


thanks,
