Hello to all. I just bought a 00' Disco with 100k on her. She drives great but there are a few quircks with it. Hopefully not a big deal, but I'd like to make sure. My first question that I need help with is with the suspension. After the Disco has been sitting for a few hours the rear drivers side wheel well looks like it's almost touching the tire. Then as soon as I start it and put it in gear it seems normal. Can anyone explain, and is this a big deal?

Thanks,
Kelly

 

Most likely you have a ride height sensor or the air bag on that corner that needs replacing. 100K miles is as much as you get out of the original air bags. Any warning lights coming on?

Unfortunately I know this problem all too well. You have a very slow leak somewhere in the bag. When you start up the vehicle the compressor senses that one of the sides is lower then the other, so the compressor comes on and it automatically inflates the bag. When you park the vehicle the air slowly leaks out again. Try standing on the edge of the bumper that has the leak and rock thevehicle up and down, you will hear the air seap out eventually ..... Good luck.

 

Actually you picked a great time to replace your air bags, they are on sale at, http://www.arnottindustries.com/

My daughters car has the same problem but different systems.The truck never goes down on the rear drivers side unless:

truck is off and you open the back door or leave a door open with the truck off.

it dropped with engine on when letting a passenger in the passenger side.

fixed by. turning of truck and lock with remote. wait 5 minutes open the truck with remote key, turn over and shut door. truck comes up in 35 secounds and you can drive all day.

one time dropped while driving then came back up after a minute or two.

Im stumped and i have rebuilt my RR air suspension from head to toe. Is there anyway to disable at the ecu so you can run until i can trouble shoot this enoying problem for my daughter? I think i will just get her springs. I checked the bags and ther are no cracks or real wear.

Thanks Chris

Well, again disco mike helped me solve my daughters air suspension in her 2000 disco II. After talking with mike , I started having my daughter jump on the back of the tailgate step as i squirted soapy water over the problem airbag. Well it seems that a pin hole would start leaking and i gues turned in to a small tear that you could not see unless you put a lot of weight in the back and made it go up and down. It was bubbling like crazy.. I called my local miami rovers indy shop. Got a replacement bag on a saturday and came home and within a hour replaced it and is good to go. Pain to jack frame and suspension to seat bag and get tire of but not a big deal. The hardest part was that it was 2:00 in the afternoon and about 95 degrees outside... i think i lost a pound of water. Time for a few beers... Thanks Mike!
