Airmatic slammed on drivers side

Any mechanics familiar with mercedes airmatic suspension. Been having problems with drivers side. Entire drivers side would lower when not running but would raise up when running however drivers front shock struggled to hold air so I replaced shock after replacement drivers side won't lift at all. 2004 mercedes e500

You really need to post details of who replaced the front strut or if you replaced it how did you do it. Do you get error messages, and if so which? Is the rear affected too?
