Some advice please. Does anyone know how long air struts should last under normal circumstances. Just I've noticed mines seems to be sitting a bit high gap between wheel and wheel arch, and wondered if the shock in middle wears, causing airbags to rise .

I had ongoing issues with steering wander which was largely fixed when I replaced my rear shocks on 74,000 miles. Easy to test - no difference from any other car. Just bounce on a corner and see if they continue moving or stop. I opened the rear door and crouched in the boot to bounce it.

Not sure about height sensors, worth checking, milage is 123000, and no records of the suspension other than arms being changed in service records and receipts. The car does sometimes adjust itself when parked, but mostly when on a slope. It can feel quite wallowing in corners and unsettled over bumps at times, which led me to think struts and shocks |

Yes, I certainly think bouncing it is worth a try. Costs nothing to check
