Leaking on new Arnott struts

[heyboston1515]

Dear Respected members,
I have 740Li 2019 RHD .
I just changed all the front and rear struts + the air compressor .
After one night the cars are not level, the Right side of the car are lower that the non driver side.
After checking with soap water, i was surprised the new arnott strut ( Front right) is leaking .
Really give me hindrance for this , is this normal ?
It caused me not trusting the brand as i purchase few arnott on my old mercedes in the past .
What do you think. ?

Hello, welcome to Bimmerpost!

The answer to your question whether it is normal or not - it's not. Just because the part is new doesn't mean it is defect free. Might be poor quality control at the factory or rough handling when shipping that caused this leak. I assume that you have warranty for the job so you can get it fixed.

Personally, I dont trust anything else but genuine when it comes to air springs.
