2002 PA Air Shocks
I replaced one of the air shocks last year and this really improved the ride. Lately, the compressor has been running more frequently. Today, I checked the opposite air shock and it does not seem to be leaking. I checked the one I replaced last year and it seems fine. I noticed that after I shut the car off, the compressor made a whining noise for about 30 to 45 seconds. Could the compressor be going bad?

Re: 2002 PA Air Shocks
Whining noise may be air escaping through the compressor valving system- Dose t sound like air escaping, like when you pinch off a balloon? This could be a bad seal- spray some soapy water all around compressor and then shut car off and see if you see the leak.

Re: 2002 PA Air Shocks
I accessed the compressor through the right rear wheel well. Soaped everything down, but did not find any leaks. I also rechecked the air shocks with soap suds. Kind of odd. It takes it awhile to pressurize and I noticed yesterday the compressor was again running when I arrived home. The valve did not appear to be leaking. It is suppposed to be warmer this weekend. I may take another look at it. Maybe the compressor is getting weak.
