Is the car lifting to the right ride height if not then it will be the small plastic arm has worn and dropped of control valve ( found in middle of rear sub-frame ). It is always a good plan to wd40 it from time to time as they do rust up and stop working.
If the car is sitting at the right ride height then it will be the spheres that have lost there nitrogen charge and will need replacing.
FOR SAFETY REASONS IT IS A GOOD SAFE PLAN TO PUT CAR ON AXLE STANDS BEFORE DOING ANY WORK UNDERNEATH IT, THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO COME DOWN ON PEOPLE WITH NO WARNING.
