Air suspension pump operation

[kdad]

MY 2018 F15 with 70k miles

The air pump comes on for about a second every morning I start driving
Wanted to check if this is within reason to replenish air. Or do I have leaks which is possible at this age.

Thanks

That sounds normal and I have fresh bags. You’ll know the bags are wearing out when the car is sitting flat with the wheels jammed into the wheel wells.

That has happened a couple times in the past six months or so. Am I better off changing the bags preemptively?

Only if you don't want to wait until you have to replace the air compressor as well.

Yes, if you don’t your compressor will fail eventually. Changing the bags is easy and cheap.

I’m having similar issue- but it started after I dropped the front… and put those parts in rear to that makes the computer read the suspension should stay similar on each side….

I'm OP. Just changed the bags diy.
Just do it if your car is in the 70k mi range
