THE ACE

I replaced the 2 front struts on my 2003 S430, as my old ones were leaking oil. After installing both new struts from Arnott we started the car and the right front strut would not raise. I had no leveling issues with the car prior to this installation . Any ideas as to what the problem may be ?
It almost seems like there is not air going to the right front strut.

Theres been a pretty high defective rate with arnott rebuilt struts lately you probably got a bad one

They are very good with customer service though, have them send you a new one

Check your level sensor, you might have installed it wrong or damaged it during the replacement.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question . I have contacted Arnott and they are sending me a new Strut ,we will see what happens once I receive later this week.

I received the new strut from Arnott and installed it.The new strut worked fine, it raised the car properly and the front end was level . However, I got the famous" Airmatic visit workshop" error code come up after we finished installing the strut. I read the threads on this site about" Airmatic visit workshop "error code and decided to try simplest fix first.So I unplugged the electrical connector coming from Strut,the connection seemed fine,I connected it back up. Started up the car and the error code was gone!!
The car is running great! Thanks for every ones help and patients.
