air Suspension PSI information

I just replace front driver side air suspension after the original suspension gave up, bought one from ebay and replace it, gave a couple of issue but was able to fix it,

Now the issue i am getting is the ride under Sport mode I seems softer as it was before - any one has the data for the front and rear air suspension on how much psi they should have? is the PSI adjustable if you have DAS reader? my local mechanic has Autel Maxisys Pro and J2435 programmer - thank you all for the information.

STAR/DAS/Xentry will give the pressure readings in Bars for all four air springs and you can adjust the pressure in each air spring individually.

Airmatic bags use 2 chambers for changing suspension characteristics.
Sounds like you might have trouble with valves.

do you happen to have default pressure for each of the air springs?

I'll connect my system this weekend and take note of the pressures in my air springs. Should be above 5 Bar in each corner IIRC but I will verify for you.

You might have lost ADS if you replaced it with one that didnt have a remanufactured shock absorber in it.
