Hi, im new here,

just purchased a BEAR car lift, and as i bring it up one side would go up faster than the other... is there a bleed valve that would align one side of the hoist to the other?

If it's a two post lift like this one, then no. The two cylinders run in parallel with each other and there are cables for load balancing:

thanks for the links for the manual,

it is a 2post hydro lift, but my problem is one side lifts higher than the other, and im not sure how to align the 2cylindars.. is it possible to relieve the pressure so that both sides go down?

The hydraulics have no synchronizing ability other than having equal load on each cylinder, this is done with cables.
Maybe make sure both cylinders are fully retracted before adjusting cables.

From the troubleshooting section of the guide:

Lift going up unlevel.
1. Equalizer cables out of adjustment.
2. Lift installed on unlevel floor.
