Airmatic Problem... "Stop Car Too Low"

OK another one.. lol

Long story short park my car in the morning went to work in the afternoon front right side is lower than normal just the that side when i starts the car got a message in red 'Stop car too low" did some research over the internet coulee be the airmatic strut shock, i checked and change the air pump relay and the Air Suspension Compressor Relay still have the same problem..

Now the car does go up a lil and drive but will get the same message also you can hear the air pump working so i think is the shock but before i buy it needs some opinion from you guys i took some pictures of the shock so you guys see it.

Did you guys think like me that i need to replace the shock? Thanks

Replace the shock and don't drive the car. The pump will burn itself out trying to replace the leaking air.

I just had both of my fronts rebuilt. I went with rebuildmastertech.com

cost me about 450 a piece and took about 2 hours per side to install.

Arnott makes replacements about half the price of OEM. Most are now being made with rebuilds of OEM struts.

yes arnott is a good replacement , i heard a lot of positive reviews , and their price/quality is on point , comparing to OEM.
(recently had one rear spring replaced in my e class with arnott , perfect fit with lifetime limited warranty , cant beat that)

Plus one on the Arnott. I used them on my last Caddy front and rear and they were a perfect. The ride was great compared to what was in there. This was a little over ten years ago and I know they have come a long way since then.
