yes we actually want to get rid of them, i posted them on the marketplace under this link... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/usmb/forum/showthread.php?threadid=10179&goto=newpost Let me know if interested I can email you pics of what we have. pm me with your email address. EDIT - Well I tried to post the link but it isnt showing up correctly when I go to the post. We have all the parts except the silinoids available.

This probably wont be much of a help but I thought I would respond with the end result of my original post above. The intermittent problem you are explaining is pretty identical to the one we had, except that its not the same set or rears going flat everytime. On ours...my husband took apart all the connectors, no shorts in wires or bad connections. Pulled the computer and it looked brand new. Eventually when he put it back together for the second time, the whole thing stopped working, the compressor wasnt going anymore either. So rather than rack his brain any longer at fixing it because it wasnt something obvious, since all the fuses and wires were fine, computer looked new (could have been busted but would require someone familiar with testing it, or getting a new one), compressor worked fine, air bags will fill and hold fine when told to, etc...He just went to PAP and got regular strut system off of a GL wagon in the yard and slapped that on, and its been perfect ever since. The only thing he thought possibly was not working right were the silinoids, but we didnt want to put that much money into the car to get new ones since no junk yard around here had any. From everything I have read about others having trouble with this system is the end result is taking out the air system and putting in a regular one. They seem to always eventually have problems and pricing replacements was an eye opening experience But if you have the time, patience and money...I hope you are able figure out what the problem is.

Thanks for the links...I did a search before but didnt offer much insight into what we are experiencing, other than the solution to replace the system with regular shocks. Which may be our resolution if we cant get it resolved, but below is more specifics on what seems to be going on.... The back end went flat to the ground after we went through a brushless car wash yesterday. Thats when I posted the question. However later that night after we drove it a few miles and came home, it popped right back up. We didnt put 2 and 2 together about the car wash being a possible factor in it until late last nite. is that possible that water being sprayed at high pressure under the wheel wells, etc causing problems with the system? The compressor runs like its working correctly, and no...the height control was not flashing, thats why it seemed so strange. However over the past couple weeks the height control has been flashing from time to time, but the system seemed to be working fine at the time, we we werent sure why it was flashing either. It rains alot here in washington and if its water related this may get really annoying....so we would really like to find a solution. I will email you also. Thanks!

sorry Im the middle man in posting cuz my husband isnt that keen on using message boards. He said he cleaned a filter and that fixed the problem before, but now its back to the same problem and he has no idea what else to look for as the cause.

We have an 87 GL-10 turbo wagon awd with pneumatic height control. I searched the board for any information on the height control system but didnt find much. Anyone familiar with this system? Ours stopped working today. The filter has been cleaned out and the pump seems to be working but nothing happens. My husband hooked up an air compressor to the system to see if it was the pump not working, but that did nothing either. Any ideas would be helpful. We have someone interested in looking at the car to buy it, but now this happens today! We were looking forward to the extra cash before xmas.
