Just pulled into driveway and heard what sounded like air coming from the rear tire. It was not the tire but the car appears to have dropped few inches. The front is fine. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be? I was thinking suspension or struts (but do not really know what struts are). Thanks

My first guess who be the leaf springs which are part the suspension.

Hi, if you have airbags it can be there is a leak in the hose or bag. I have air shocks all around and there is a guy who made a nice reply for 4wd as they need 0.98in or 25mm when down or up about one inch either way. I also saw a YouTube video for rear end replacement airbags. I like this website so far. Just wished I could get mine back up.
