big time suspension problem

I guess the problem started when my 97 expy would shake at 65-70 mph only. I figured it was due the balance of the tires because it was just aligned, and had this problem before with other cars. Due the constant shaking at high speeds, the check suspension light came on. Now, my rear is practically dropped. The front still remains at regular height. I still hear the air compression when driving, but the rear is not leveling out. Suggestions?

The rear air bags are done. I have a 00' EB and not looking forward to the day when it happens to me. There is a few good threads on the LLS and how to change the air bags and other components.

Load Leveling Suspension. I believe your 97 only has this in rear and the front are a shock, spring setup. The LLS adjusts the rear suspension depending on weight on the rear.

LLS was always an option on the X, never standard equipment

2WD = rear air suspension
4WD = front and rear air suspension
