Had my '06 RRS in to the dealer just before the warranty runs out. Besides trying to get them to fix the **** knock(very subtle at this point), the front suspension has been dropping 1/2 to 1 inch overnight, then pumps right back up at start-up. Usually happens when I park in the garage.

Dealer states this is normal, that it would drop a half-inch lower than the rear. Is this correct?? I was under the impression that the vehicle would try to remain level even with the power off. I've only noticed it doing this starting about a month ago.

To me that sounds very ABNORMAL. If my rover dropped 1" per night, then it would be on bump stops every 1-2 days. My compressor comes on everytime I start the car overnight, but it seems to only be filling the tank, the vehicle itself does not raise.

Even you and others experience that situation, I dont see an issue with it as long as your compressor is working and keeping the bags filled.

I think geflackt is saying it drops 1/2"-1" and stops there. That's not abnormal. Mine pumps up every morning when its started up, but I've never been anal rentive enough to measure the sag.

If you think the compressor is cycling more these days, then you might have a leak in a valve or the bag, and you want that checked out so you don't shorten the compressor life too much.

I believe you are correct. When I get in and out of the vehicle (power off parked in the garage) I would occasionally hear a sudden release/burst of air from either on of the corners. My guess is that the car is leveling itself out. If this drop of yours only started occurring a month ago then logic tells me that there may be a slow leak somewhere in the front air suspension.
