Unhappy another airmatic question/issue

I have noticed that my front 2 shocks lower always about 0.5mm over night,both at the same time,while rear ones don't move inch.I left the car for 3 days 1 night it lowers 0.5,other 2 it doesn't move.So I'm thinking could it be that the only sensors are failing?

Could be as simple as ambient temperature change affecting internal air spring pressure. The numbers you mention are down in the noise. When you start talking 20-40mm in a night then you have problems.

Mine will drop or raise that with the ambient air temp differences between night and day (as bbirdwell said above) Nothing to worry about IMO. Once it starts dropping more as stated, then you have an issue.
