Suspension Level Sensor

Good morning everybody,
I still have issues with my airmatic and even went to the MB dealership to get the valve block replaced (which they told me is leaking). The suspension is still leaking but now it takes 2-3 days instead of overnight to lower the front.
They also told me that the level sensor (R/F) is broken and needs to be replaced because the passenger side is hanging lower than the driver side. They quoted me $438.69 for it so I ordered a new sensor (010-542-76-17) but the car is still hanging lower after I replaced the sensor.
Do I have to hook it up to the STAR system after I replaced the sensor or should it work just fine without any additional work?

Thank you for all your answers and support.

Chris

If you replaced a faulty ride height sensor you need to use SDS to recalibrate your ride height.

What is SDS? Can I do this myself or do I have to bring it to the dealership? Thank you for your answer.
