i wrote the wrong word here
So what kind of damage could be done to the pump?
i meant VALVE
i don't buy that about the bad spheres causing valve problems
but we shall see...
when i bought my car years ago, the spheres were bad and i didn't
replace them for a month or two, i'm sure
then

Pressure spikes. Pretty nasty stuff. Think hydroforming...

So I went to a dealership for a Club High Mileage event and had an array of
seasoned techs work on my suspension problem. :)
The consensus was that the bouncy rear end was NOT related to the air cells
(spheres), since they are new.
We lowered the ride height by adjusting the rear valve linkage,
Andrew,
From my experience with SLS, I believe that you've got leveling valve issues.
Here's my logic:
If changing the leveling valve settings causes the suspension height to change,
the struts must be good. If by some chance they were bad, it wouldn't raise at
all, assuming the seals on the
Maybe the pump is not providing enough pressure.

It pounds the base pressure and overpressure relief valves and their springs
into oblivion.
It will eventually also cause strut seal failure, lower balljoint failure, and
top strut bushing failure.

Sounds like they further misadjusted the linkage. The valve is working if they
were able to influence the resting height. The system's operation is clearly
described in 32-501.
It should be adjusted so that the unloaded vehicle's resting height is
determined only by the base pressure. The
One thing also to look at it, and I presume your mechs did this, is the
condition of the plastic bushings on the turnbuckle linkage. If those
are not solid or are missing it will not allow the system to function
properly. Have you ascertained if the pump is actually pumping
pressurized fluid

Since I installed new spheres it rides less harshly. I don't notice
excessive bounciness, but it fails the bounce test at rest (won't recover
quickly enough after pressure is applied to the rear bumper).
David: Are you saying that all components are sound, and that applying
32-501 will solve my
If the springs are too stiff the suspension will ride too high,
and you'll never get the system adjusted into the proper range.

Well, if it drives OK with the new spheres, I suppose you could
I tossed the old spheres 3 years ago

I changed mine 8 years ago, so mine were probably recycled long ago too.
