'80 Wagon self leveling suspension question

Submitted by bboisineau on 2 September 2010 - 11:11am.

Greetings,

I can hear some clunking with riding over bumps in the road. I read
Kent's SLS troubleshooting guide for some tips. All of the following
checked out: no leaks, fluid level good, pump working, sway bar links tight,
pulled an accumulator and seal good.

What isn't working is the manual operation of the leveling valve. I can
also see some cracks in the differential mount. The valve was replaced
1-2 yrs ago. I have a new mount, but stopped upon finding the valve was not
responding to manual operation. Any ideas/suggestion?

First you need to get the leveling valve working properly either buy replacing it with a good used one or buy rebuilding. We have both used and rebuild kits. You could have air in the struts that could cause the clunking. That should be eliminated first.
