Does anyone have 100,000 miles on their MM and has anyone had a poblem with their airshocks staying pumped all the way to max. and having a bouncie ride?

Unless you've installed them, you don't have air shocks. Your suspension rests upon air bags, which control the rear end ride height, and there are a few places in which leaks can occur.
And yes, there have been people here with that problem :D

didja remember to shut off the air suspension switch the last time you jacked her up? It messes up the height sensor if ya didn't .... and of course you will have a low-rider if you didn't remember to turn it back on...

The Rear Air Suspension (RAS) uses two rear airpsprings, with nitrogen-gas pressurized shock abosrbers. Air shocks are not used.

If your RAS has excessively high trim height and/or it never deflates/vents - you may have a damaged height sensor or even vent solenoid. A previous owner may have even bypassed the compressor and replaced with air fittings (ie schrader valves) to avoid compressor replacement.


Is your Check Air Suspension lamp illuminated?
If so, first make sure the RAS I/O switch in the trunk is notset to off. Check fuses and relays, then take it to the dealer and have the scan the RAS/EVO module for the code.

If no CAS lamp, I would check the height sensor - someone may have adjusted it to it's max position.



I have some RAS info here:
