rear air strut issue

while driving my 2001 s500 my rear suspension failed causing the car to drop on rear end. I 've replaced the rear air struts with aftermarket Autosaver88 air struts , the car is still sagging in the rear though could there be another culprit

There have been many reports of problems with the Chinese struts.

Check the rear height sensor, located between the rear anti-roll bar and the chassis.
