Suspension Pump

So my suspension has been dropping in the front at the same rate on both sides. I decided to check the distribution block in the rear to see if there were any lose fittings. Well I didn’t see any obvious leaks as I sprayed soapy water liberally on them. They were however pretty lose. I couldn’t turn them by hand but with a short 10mm wrench they all were very easy to turn so I snugged them all. We will see if that helps any. I think it’s possible. My Supersports has only 7009 miles so can’t see the air babes going.

well anyways while down there I notice the pump itself was lose. Not the bolts themselves but the bushings it’s mounted on seemed too lose.

any thoughts?

When does it drop? Overnight? Does it take a few days to drop if you don't use the car?

I would think the pump should be mounted on rubber bushing to shield the vibration.

The suspension would drop over a 48 hour period. Initial review of the adjustments I made look promising. Hasn't dropped at all yet. Fingers crossed! The pump is mounted on studs with rubber bushings but seems too easy to move and there is a lot of play in it. Wass hoping to post the video but doesn't work.
