Air matic level sensors questions
hell o gentlemen
yet another issue with my 2001 s 430
i recently replaced some more control arms in the front end upper and lower
however drivers side air strut is higher than others and is causing the car to pull to the right and has worn out my brand new rear right tire in less then 30 days
i fear the tire will blow any day , is there any method of getting both sides in the front evan ? i have tried adjusting and readjusting them but to no avail
please let me know if this is something you have solved before
i live in new england and the car needs to drive straight if im going to make it through the snow and ice this winter
thanks in advance

Mess with the level sensors is the cheap way to do it, as long as everything is working properly. Sometimes after changing components you need to re-level the car with Star/DAS which is the proper way to deal with it.
For super cheap and hack job way, you can either add washers to the level sensor to lower the car or you can bend the linkage to raise the corner.
I think you have other issues if you wear out a tire in 30 days.
