Failed Airmatic System

I have a 2000 S430, the Airmatic visitworkshop message is displayed on my dash, The right side is lowered and its sitting on my right front tire. Does anyone know what parts need to be replace? What are the cost of the repairs?

It could be lots of things. You should have the car toed to a dealer or a very good independent shop.

My understanding about the system is that if one side goes down, then likely that strut either needs to have the top repaired or the strut should be replaced. Let us know what you find out.
