ride height sensor symptoms??
im hoping my rear left strut isnt going out, i noticed the car sitting low on the rear left side and gave the illusion of the rear left wheel being a wrong offset..
so i double checked again that all offsets are the same, then maybe i thought alignment??
moving on, i fired up the car and left it on for 15mins + for ride height to normalize.... still kinda low on the left rear, very noticeable actually so im kinda bummed to why its lower and wheel not being flush with rear right wheel, as if the offsets were off but ive double checked and same brabus wheel specs inside of spokes, 9.5x20..
skylaw, tusabes, vietamg - the top dogs!!! help!!
diagnosis: ride height sensor + alignment... OR rear strut + alignment.. OR all 3, RHS + alignment + replace rear struts.
i know there'll be 100+ views before i get an answer, take your time guys!! and i appreciate all the help!!!

I'm actually pretty sure that there is only one rear ride height sensor so if its down on one side, you may have a valve block or strut issue.
I wouldn't worry about the alignment until you have the car at the proper ride height.

It's one link. Its your strut or the valve block.
