Default They’re trash

They’re done. Replace. You also want to fix the torn strut bellows. That’ll be letting all kinds of crap into the workings and causing a premature leak/failure.

Also I hear a little rattle from the front left when I go over bumps, so I decided to take a look since I was down there today. I think I found it

Well I must’ve messed something up down there when looking around the compressor. Car is throwing fault 01577, which is basically air bleeding out somewhere. I notice that even in jack mode the front end will still go down, and when I try to put it in lift, it will go up, then bleed out, and then fill up again about every 15-30 seconds. Guess I’ll find the source of the leak tomorrow
