Angry Airmatic leveling issue
Hello people. I have a 2006 W220 S500 with a airmatic issue. The passenger side rear is about .75-1 inch to low. The valve block, airmatic computers, shocks, everything replaced and tested but the problem still persists. Zero airmatic codes. All shocks adjust as they should with STAR. I have no clue what it could be anymore. I took it to Mercedes Benz to be repaired, paid $900 and still have the issue. The car all the sudden started leaning in that corner one day. Shocks replaced. No leaking. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you raise the level of the car with the dash button? Anything?

Everything raises fine. That side goes up the same as all the others but is still around .75-1 inch down from the others.

Are you getting plausible, changing voltage readings and voltage range from both level sensors when moving car up and down by star?

try resetting the right rear height sensor linkage. May have gotten 'adjusted' by debris.

There is only one rear height sensor, connected between the center of the anti-sway bar and the chassis.

There are position sensors inside each strut, adjustable only thru DAS.
