Curious if it's normal for the air jacks to bleed down when the pressure is removed. Not severe, but over several hours my car is back flat on the ground. Is this normal, or is it common to have to rebuild the air system over time? It's an easy work around, just curious if this is how it is? Thanks, John

I think it is common for the air systems to leak slightly but it will only progress so it does need some attention. I leave my car up on the jack when stored but I have the fixed spacer chocks that allow the air supply to be removed which is the way to go and is much safer if you are working under the car in any way. Hope this helps.

NEVER work under the car on only the Air Jacks, supply fitted or not! Always put the car on stands of some sort.

Has anyone ever rebuilt the air jacks in house, if so is it difficult?
