Rs4 suspension issue

I have a question regarding an rs4 on an 06 plate , there has been a odd noise from the rear , everything has been checked but when it was put up my mates post lift the rear passenger side suspension leg did not drop under relief , is it the dtc valve or the leg itself that's goosed ?
It's done 32k

Sounds like PRV to me. That's a definate symptom. Is the shock leaking?.........either way ££££

Cheers ! Is it replace the leg or is it a diagonal pair iirc ? Or do you think rip out and replace with standard stuff , I know the dealers prices

Dunno mate to be fair. I do know the Rs4 system is different to the old Rs6 system that had all the probs. Guess it's the evolution version but they still have their problems. Not sure if the valves can be changed.
