2006 R500 suspension question
I'm looking at a 2006 R500. Vehicle has under 60,000 miles. It sits lopsided. The driver side seems to be at the proper level, and is about 2-3 inches higher on passenger side. It's obvious that there something wrong with the air suspension. The dealer that is selling it told me they left it on the lift for couple of days. When they put it back on the ground they notice that it was lopsided. What could be going on? I cant tool around with it because I have not bought it yet. Just would love any info on what it could be before i buy it.
Thanks.Jay

Sounds like one or more valves in the air suspension are sticking for it to sit too high on one side. Does it not settle down if the car is started and the ride height positions are changed? Does it throw an error? (it should) Repairs of Airmatic can be $$$$$$$$$$$

It stays higher on pass side all the time.

Can I get rid of the air suspension altogether and use conventional springs and shocks?
