Grand Cherokee rear suspension drops on the right side overnight
Review the evidence, add a focused answer, and distinguish confirmed measurements from assumptions.
A 2014 Grand Cherokee with air suspension sits level after driving, then the right rear is about 35 mm low by morning. The compressor restores height quickly and does not run excessively on the road. No external line damage is visible, and stored pressure data is normal.
How can the spring, line and valve block be isolated without leaving the system unsafe?
Use the suspension service mode and support points specified for the vehicle. At normal ride height, apply approved leak solution to the right spring folds, fitting, line and valve-block connection while monitoring height and reservoir pressure. A leak in the rolled fold may appear only at a particular height, so inspect through the permitted range.
Do not crawl under an unsupported air-suspension vehicle or disconnect a pressurized line. If no external leak appears, use the guided isolation test to determine whether pressure crosses the valve block.
Small bubbles formed on the rear face of the right air-spring fold only at normal height. The line and valve block held. After replacing the spring and calibrating height, both rear corners changed less than 3 mm overnight.
