@sedancollectorthanks, you’re right, if anything it’s an even more complicated system. That said, it still works via struts and a central pump. The struts degrade overtime and the pump can fail. The struts are what I referred to as “bags”, and each one can fail individually. With ABC you also have the added bonus of the internal components degrading over time and clogging the lines, which can cause the entire system to fail.
In your ownership and maintenance - any status on the engine mounts and the airmatic suspension components (bags / pump)? My first car was a '00 S430 and those were the largest failures (woof - each wheel was a quick $1200). Any recent services that provide any level of inspection report on engine components?
