Alright everyone...I am really needing some of my favorite group of peoples wisdom. Recently while driving my 1993 Mark 8 I had a problem. I was on the highway and when I slowed to make my turn the rear end of the car sank. I drove the 1/4 mile home and pulled in the driveway. I got out to see what was up and the front started to vent to curb height like normal, but never stopped. So now all four corners are slammed. The next day I started trying to find my problem. I started at my sickly sounding compressor. After getting it out of the car we dissasembled it and found that the rubber ring around the piston in the compressor was cut to pieces, and the teflon type tape wrapped around it was also shot. Since the compressor has previously been replaced with an Arnott unit, I called Arnott and ordered a new piston assembly. It arrived yesterday and we put it back on the compressor, I replaced the O ring for the dryer, and put it back on the car. The pump sounded excellent for a few minutes and I thought problem solved. But after a few 90 second cycles...no movement in the shocks. All of the air bags are firmly full of air, but the car just will not raise. I think I can hear a leak coming from around the compressor but can not find it. If anyone can give me any idea of what to do next, I would greatly appreciate it.
