My front end was up as I came out to go to work this morning, but about a block away from home, the dreaded "Check Air Ride" came on. I shut it off and restarted it. The front end was low, but not slammed. A loud whistling sound was coming from the driver's side wheel area. I took it home and it was slammed on the front end when I got back from work, but the back end was still normal. When I restarted it to bring it in to work on it, it inflated normally and didn't whistle. The front bags do look new compared to the rear ones, but they could be toast. During the day, it won't leak down even if it's left for an extended period, but at night it occasionally leaks down in a similar idle period.
Is it possible that I just have a solenoid issue or should I just replace the front bags now? Is it possible that this is just a transient problem with a sticky solenoid? Also, when replacing the front shocks, do I need to separate the upper control arm like you do when putting regular springs in? I've ordered the rear shocks and they should be here soon, but I'd like to avoid the fronts if possible because I'm slightly broke now. But, I'll do them if I need to.
