Rear corner half inch lower than other side - e63 Kombi

Hi all,

Is it possible to adjust the height of the suspension on one rear wheel?
I've got a 2007 e63 Kombi. Air suspension works fine, all 4 corners go up and down the same amount when you press the Airmatic buttons, and it doesn't sag if you leave the car for a week or so.
But one rear corner is permanently about a half inch lower than the other. As there is only one rear sensor for this car, is there a way on Star or other means to raise one corner?

Thanks!

I read somewhere MB gives it 19 mm tolerance so yours 13 is still within specifications.
It is the front sensors that control side to side level.

Oh really?! OK, thanks. That's a lot of tolerance!
I guess that is fine when the car is at stock height, but when the car sits lower as mine does, that all-important arch gap becomes important.

I'll play with the front sensors somewhat and see if I can level it up slightly.

Also, I've ordered custom rear adjustable suspension components for camber, toe and sway, as the thing currently eats rear tyres (even more than you'd expect on a 63! ). They do look rather good quality, so will report back after fitting those.
