Try driving it around for a few miles. Sometimes my driver's side usually sits lower than the passenger side after several days of sitting in the garage...but evens out after I start her up. I just live with it. Do a search and you'll see other members with the same problem. Once the dealer sees how you relocated the sensors, you could pretty much kiss the warranty on your airmatics goodbye!!! Let us know how much they charge you for the repairs.

Can't you just take the washers off and relocate the sensor back to it's original spot?
