Default 1998 cadillac deville riding low

i have a 1998 cadillac deville, its been riding low since i bought it... what could cause this problem???

when driving down the road its smooth and drives good... but when i go into a turn its kinda scary feels like its wanting to slide out from under itself... and when i'm on a straight road and go into a dip in the road when i hit the dip the whole car feels like it wants to jump to the left...

and i do not hear the pump running... and there isn't any lights on on the dash...

anybody got any thoughts???

have the car running while doing this

well what u can do is open the trunk add weight to it and see if it goes up

usually around 300-400 lbs

a couple of things could be gone

sensors to tell the pump to go

the pump

a line is cracked

depends on the system u have
but this should be all of them
in the trunk there is rss 10 a
body fuse ign0 10 a
hood elc 30a maxi fuse

make sure the rod is there it goes to a module which detects the shift of the vehicle
it just moves up and down
it should be somewhere around the left rear of vehicle
