Q: The air compressor part of the automatic air load levelling system failed. Can I replace the rear air shocks with a quality pair of ordinary shock absorbers?
The car is sitting low in the rear even though there is no cargo in the trunk or rear seat.

Because of cost I would rather not replace the air compressor.
