This CXS has been meticulously babied. Because of our current situation, i have been unable to take care of my car. The back end is stuck in the air and rides like a tank. The two rear shocks are fine, but i have heard about the air pump release valve malfunctions. My question is, can the pump be rebuilt? And can a diy like myself replace it? Would be buying from junk yard a good idea? As you guys know replacing suspension components cxs is very costly. Should I attempt or just do like .everyone suggest and delete magna suspension?
Thanks ✌

If it were my vehicle I would convert it to standard suspension and forget about ever having issues with it. As far as doing it yourself, of course you can! anyone can do anything with enough effort and desire. I included instructions to replace the pump in case you want to do it yourself. Just right click on the image after you open it and open to new tab, then click on the magnifying glass.
