    I wonder if anyone has an easy fix for a sagging self-leveling system on a 412. The rear droops after sitting for a couple of hours. When you start the motor it come back to level ...it rides and handles beautifully...any thoughts?...Thanks, Marc

    Pretty certain they all do that after sitting for a while.

    As long as it comes up to normal height reasonably quickly after startup (30 seconds or so), there is nothing to worry about IMO.

    Considering you're a Doctor, prior to giving my diagnosis of the aforementioned problem, I need you to get naked & put on this gown.....Mark

    If the rear comes up slowly, as in over 30 seconds, the screens on the inlet and outlet of the oil reservoir could be clogged. I changed my outlet screen last year (I had it off to get the AC out) and this year I am doing the inlet. Don't be alarmed if the screen looks like someone crushed it. I bought a new one and it looked the same! I returned it for another and it was the same too!!

    This is normal. When engine switched off the car will visibly go down at back and return to normal height when started again. Start worrying when you lose power steering as well.
