03 Navigator Air Suspension Issues

I was wondering if any on else has had this issue? The drivers side in a couple of inches lower than the passenger side and at times the suspension will work fine (stayed aired up) and the other it partially dumpes and I get the Check sus light.with the drivers side 3-4 inches lower than the passanger. I sparyed the drivers bag and lines cant find any leaks. But found a leak at the dryer thanks to the stealer leaving the bolts out on the window washer box and it resting on the compressor. From doing a search I couldnt find any poss answers, and just dont want to start replacing parts for no reason. Hope you guys have some suggestions that will help..

The solenoid valve for that corner is probably working intermittently.

I can hear air rush from the drivers front suspension when I was driving slow with the window down, a sush sound but its intermittiant only, could the solenoid cause that?

The release solenoid could. I would think that if it were a leak in either the airbag or an air line, it would always leak. Since it sometimes will work correctly, I'd rule out a leak and pursue the only other thing that will release air...the solenoid.

Is there a way to check the solenoid or just replace it, and then have the system recalabrated? Thanks again
