What's wrong with these STAR DAS Airmatic (mm/bar) readings?

Hello,

we are trying to do airmatic adjustment after upper control arm replacement because that corner of the car became much lower than the rest

The original values were -1mm for front left, 20 mm for front right, 15mm rear

In order to level the car back the height of fronts had to be adjusted 35mm for front left, And as much as 90mm for front right.

The pressure in bars for both fronts is ~9.40 bars.

But I'm concerned about the huge difference between the front height readings. What are we doing wrong?

Could his be that he ride height sensor mounted to he upper control arm gone bad?

It appears the corner with the replaced control arm had dropped after 10 miles on highway 70-80mph

No warnings, no malfunctions on Airmatic with STAR.

Could this possibly be due to malfunctioning sensor that is mounted to the control arm.


I would like to give it another try to get my car back to its normal ride height on that one wheel. Any help on tuning the suspension with the Star program or possible causes would be appreciated. My concern is primarily whether or not such behavior might be due to malfunctioning sensor that is mounted to control arm.

Thank you,m

Best Regards,
Alex
