Hey guys figure this one out:
93 Mark w/ 17,500 mi.
Last fall the suspension started acting like all the damping was gone
out of the struts and shocks. Going down old concrete streets that
the slabs had different tilts would start the Mark rocking side to
side like a wonder horse. Friday was my clubs cruise-in night, so
I drove to the mall (rocking like a drunken sailor) to help set up
stands and parked at 3pm. When I left at 10pm I suddenly noticed
the normal firm handling was back!!! Drove it Sat/Sunday & it
continues to be OK. It has never displayed an error message/was
always at the correct height/never leaked (slammed)/compressor
never ran excessively & is not noisy/was pumping up and venting
correctly. Since it changed nearly instantly it must electrical
but what the heck could it be??? Guys on the other board suggested
that strut damper valves may be sticking open. Is this possible??
