Well I put the car up on the ramps this afternoon and after disconnecting the adjustable link, I moved the arm up and down with the car running, and low and behold it worked. After doing it a few times the fluid level dropped in the reservoir so clearly the system had not purged itself from just driving it. Actually the height adjuster has the valve lever so low I don't believe this car has ever run at anything other than its lowest setting regardless of the cars load.

The ride is much better, almost there. I may still do the rubber bushings at the top of the struts and see if that improves things some more.

Now a question: How do you set the proper rear ride height without the factory tools mentioned in the shop manual? I can clearly see the hole in the arm and the slot in the valve but how much weight should be in the rear in order to line these up?

Thanks
John
