I think the last two threads are correct in pointing to the control valve. I have been reading the service manual, amazing what you can find, and that points to the control valve also. However the ride height is normal. When I got the car the ride height was low. Changed the cells and did not see a big difference. When my wife got back in town with the car last week the back end seemed to be much higher, even she mentioned that.

So I think, if I am reading right, somehow the rear end is up, the control valve senses that and is sending the oil back to the reservoir and not letting oil get to the cells and struts. Do I have this right?

Thanks for your input.
