Start with the usual suspect - the union/connector in the brake master cylinder area usually breaks and will cause rear suspension to sag.

Search for spider jr (or is it spyder jr) to see posts regarding problem and the available options to fix.

Here is my thread on coverting from the air suspension to the traditional springs and coilovers. Well worth the money. It can be done by yourself in the Driveway with basic hand tools.

Air ride fails

I have an '04 Expo that the air ride seems to have a mind of its own. For the longest time the front drivers side would drop while either sitting in the drive or on the road. The local shop spent better than 6 months trying to find the problem. Now that that has been fixed, the rear drivers side will deflat. I am told that this is normal. It has never done it in the 40k miles we have had it. Has anyone had this problem or is there anything that I can tell my local shop?

I really dislike my 2002 EB Expo with air ride. My biggest complaint is I would like to put a lift kit on mine but since I have the f/r air ride & A4WD I have yet to find anything that's compatible.
