Brad - have you checked your fuse box? this happened to me once - rear end was jacked way up and stiff as a rock. i don't recall what else is serviced by that same fuse without looking at the car - i think power seats too? anyway as soon as the fuse was replaced, the car dropped back to its normal height. hope this helps you - jeff h


I recently filled the reservoir for the self leveling system with the recommended Pentosin CHF 7.1 hydrallic mineral oil. The next morning the rear end of the car raised several inches and has remained there since. Does anyone have a working knowledge of the SL system. It appears that it is controlled by a switch of some sort located on or near the rear sway bar. Is there a way to manually overide the system? Will unplugging the pump return it to a normal ride height? Thanks in advance.
