Bentley 07- A/C and suspension

Hi, I have a 2007 Bentley and A/c comes and goes. Today it will work perfect then 3 days later it stops working. No air comes out even thou I hear something running in the engine. Also, suspension in front keeps going down. the car looks dropped? any idea what i can do?

Drop the rear so it looks uniform.

Ok, seriously, take it in for service as the ac might only need refill (easy and you can do that) yet the suspension is a job for pros.

My drivers side did this same thing and I have an 2007 as well. It was after sitting for about 3 weeks while I was out of town a lot but I started it up and drove it and it never happened again. I did research it of course and I plan on putting those Arnott struts as well if it gets to be a real problem. I spoke to my dealer toady while getting my yearly service and they said they would install them for me if I choose to go with them instead of the factory ones which retail for $2700 each; seems like a no brainer to me.
