AHC Fluid Problem

Thank you for your very insightful response, as always. I didn't mean to discredit the "theory" of leaking nitrogen gas from the globes. I was just theorizing that at some point in time, the gas will have all escaped and be replaced by fluid, so at some point, there should be no more bubbles generated.

My understanding from what you're saying is that it is definitely NOT normal to have bubbles entrained in the fluid like what I'm seeing. So it is either failing globes, or remnants from my last fluid change/pump re-install. In the case of the latter, wouldn't I have bubble entrapment throughout all 4 globes, not just the rears? In my case only the rear globes show cloudy bubbly fluid.
 
IndroCruise, when I bled my rear globes, the fluid that came out was almost like a foam. Just like when you pour beer into a glass, at first it's almost all foam but if you let it sit for several minutes, the bubbles dissipate and it's all liquid. The AHC fluid behaved the same way. In 15 minutes, it was clear pink AHC fluid, and the bubbles all evaporated.

So, if I put the vehicle in LOW, this ejects the AHC fluid from the system into the reservoir. Once this foam ends up in the reservoir, the bubbles dissipate like they did in my bottle. Then once I put it back in N, the pump should take the clear fluid and insert it back into the system. By doing several cycles of this, wouldn't this effectively bleed the system?
 
Bump. Hoping IndroCruise can chime in with his expertise. I've been leaving my car in LOW when I park for the last several days. The idea being that I evacuate the air-riddled fluid back into the AHC tank for it to stabilize and for the entrained air to escape. Then, when I start the car back up the next day, and raise it to N, the clear fluid is pumped back into the system. I've done this cycle about 3 days now and I do not notice any difference in ride quality whatsoever..
