Hi all...
I removed my rear wheel to investigate a creaking noise in the rear suspension. Once I was finished, I replaced the wheel. I now get a message that says the "vehicle is lifting slowly" whenever I adjust the height. The compressor seems to cycle more often now too. I raised the suspension and left the drivers door open overnight so the system would not adjust. The next morning everything was still level, so I suppose there are no leaks in the air spring.
When I had the wheel off I was feeling around the area trying to find the creaking noise, I wonder if I messed up the height sensor or something.
Other than getting the message, and the compressor cycling more often, everything else seems ok.
Any ideas??? 2006 RR 4.4 HSE

i would investigate that same area and see if something has been knocked or broken..seems a coincidence ..

The message means it is taking longer than expected to raise the car - this is usually after a few requests, so the reservoir is empty and the pump is hot.

If you've been playing with it then the reservoir could be empty - then it takes longer to raise as well as longer to fill the reservoir. Once the compressor reaches a set temperature it no longer fills the reservoir too. So maybe try again in an hour or so?

I doubt it would have anything to do with a height sensor. Your creaking rear suspension would no doubt be the infamous rear bush - they cause creaking/groaning when worn, typically the noise goes away when wet... 

Thanks for the info.....I did notice that when I jacked up the RR, I had to really extend it to get the wheel off of the ground....do you think that may have had something to do with it. I had the height in access mode, but I didn't think to open a door or disconnect the battery. The wheel did lower a few times while I was jacking it.
Thanks for your help..

Also, is your opinion, that rear bushing something that could be done at home? 2006 RR 4.4 HSE

I have had this message sometimes. But mines when I pull out of my drive in access mode and floor it straight away
Never have this message when I take my time. Ex FFRR 4.2 Supercharged
