The front driver side strut seems to be froze up or hard. There is no bounce to it when you push on it and going over bumps is very rough. Also after driving when I park my car it sits low on that side. After sitting for some time it will raise back up to normal height. Is this just a bad strut or something else?
Indicates a faulty strut cartridge insert
take it to a suspension specialist for replacement
they come as pairs so have both sides done
labour time is around 2 hours max

See if you can bounce car and replicate the noise. If you can, you should be able to find it, and put your hand on it. Stabilizer bushing are a place to look, both at the lower a arm and on the frame. If you narrow it down to the strut, it will need to be replaced. The front trans mount also goes bad, try putting it in drive with your foot on the brake and give it some gas and see if the engine moves an excessive amount.

Sounds like the front "air ride suspension" is out.
That works off rubber bags built into the springs. If one or both has developed a leak/hile, it lets the front end (or rear or both) drop to ride on the bottom of the suspension.
Get the wallet out. It's expensive.
Sorry :-(
SOURCE: Air Ride Sensors Corroded?
you buy a car with all these electronics. ride hieght sensors for each wheel. this is affecting that. then when you go to the dealership you want them to replace only the exact one piece that fails. that could take hours of diagnosis time. at damn near 100 per hour. go ahead and give them the car. let them do diag. total price 2000. or you have narrowed it down to brains or sensor. do it yourself 1000. problem solved it should cost 1000-2000 to fix. if u find parts cheaper. money in your pocket
