Airmatic: front Right dropped (passenger side) - help Wanted

Hello gurus

2 days Ago when i Went Down to my car i Saw that The front Right side had dropped completey, it wouldnt raise at all
Sometimes i Get The stop car too Low message.
When first Discoverd, i hit The raise button and it raised a little after driving a mile, but now it Wont raise at all, NOT even a quarter of an inch.
When i start The car i Do NOT have airmatic Fail message, after driving a little, i Get The message

Please help out, is This indicating my strut is dead? Or anything Else?
The cheap struts from eBay for 300$~ Are they Okey? 2 year warranty

Sounds like it's only 1 dead air strut and not a problem with the pump or a line. Search for Arnott rebuilt struts and get it fixed ASAP. You may burn out your air pump if you keep driving it prior to the repair.

Not only that, the Shift key on your keyboard is turning itself on at random moments.

Well i just noticed The front left side is also a bit Lower, but raises when i Press The raise button - its probably Low because the other side is Down so Low to that its affecting it?

Im driving it for second Day but only 2 miles at tops to Work and home again, when driving, it seems airmatic is working fine exept for The front left where its ofcourse bumpy and scraping a bit when turning Right.
I am ofcourse driving very gently until i Get it fixed.

So - out from what Ive descirbed about my problem , it seems The strut is completey dead yeah? Its NOT a valve block or a recalibration issue?
Just a little note - The pump is NOT continuassly running, but is working tho (a little too "grrrr" noisy AS usual, unlike my old w221"

I guess that's why they teach that in school. Or at least they used to.

Perhaps that app was created by the same person who developed the calculator app that Benzs55 used to create his budget.

I can't help but like Benz55. But holy crap is that kid retarded about stuff. There's a current news story about this crazy guy who has tried twice to make an ocean crossing in a giant inflatable hamster wheel taking only a cell phone, water and chewy bars.

The Coast Guard spent $140k on his first rescue and ordered him not to make another attempt. He did. They rescued him. Again. They interviewed his friends and they all said once the guy gets an idea in his head he won't listen to anyone. He plans on a 3rd attempt. This time he's bringing a rubber mallet, a tiny fridge and a wood steering wheel.

Sounds like he has the limited brain capacity of a Bernie Sanders supporter, or perhaps Benzs55. I wonder if that guy will bring a plug in generator to power his tiny fridge to keep his drinks cold?
