Truck tilting/sagging on drivers side

cant seem to find anyone else with this symptom, any ideas?

Do you still have the air suspension? If so, your bags are probably leaking. Also you'll want to check that your sway bar link has not broken. If you have the coil conversion, most likely either your coils on that side are worn out or the sway bar link is broken/unhooked.

I do still have the EAS, i will check the sway bar link. I thought if it was a leak the EAS would just keep self leveling till the air ran out?

I have a 1998 Range Rover that just started doing the same thing. The thing is sagging on the passenger side though. Even when the airbags are fully inflated, the thing sags. I'm taking the airbags out this weekend and having them switched to the other side to see if it is an airbag problem. I'm worried it might be a problem with the amount of air the computer is telling the compressor to send to the passenger side. It could also be the valves next the compressor that are giving out. We'll see. Let me know if you figure anything out. I'll do the same.

yea i am concerned about the same thing, i really like the air suspension and would like to keep it, just hope its not some major issue.

Can we assume you've read the appropriate section in RAVE, and you're familiar with the workings of the EAS system?
That's step 1.

tilting/sagging is usually a result of an air leak.
Did you check that yet?

Generally, the OEM bags will start to develop some "cracks" at the foldover around 60K miles, depending on environment. They're kinda "fishmouth" looking things, and only open up right at the foldover; this means it'll leak at 1 height but not another.

Eventually, the rubber o-rings will harden and need replaced.

Rocking horse activity (the truck goes up and down on it's own, seemingly trying to find level) usually points at a dying or faulty driver module in the EAS system.

The airlines may have just worked loose and need reseated.
Get a windex spray bottle, dump out the windex, fill the bottle with water and some dish washing liquid (just a bit).
Liberally spray all the air lines and bags with your bubble juice.
If you see air bubbbles, you have a leak.

It takes longer to put the truck on jack stands than it does to swap an air spring.
Rebuilding the valve block takes an hour or 2, give it 4 hours start to finish if it's your first time.

1. Read RAVE.
2. Do bubble test.
3. Fix problem.
