broken front airmatic ???

hi been having some issues with my rear driver side height being down anywhere from a quarter to a half inch fromt eh passenger side rear ... the fronts are level.....
the dealer found a fault code and replaced the front driver side leveling sensor... they said they recalibrated the airmatic system but the car still sits a quarter inch lower on the rear driver side with the ELM turned on...

i hit a bump on the highway at speed a week ago that made me pull over and check for a bent front driver side rim{ all ok} what are the symptoms of a damaged or broken front left shock?? ... besides the leveling issue, bumps seem a bit more intense when i hit them...

Just had this happen to me. Front passenger side. Had to flatbed it in. Its weird. I am about 1/8 off on my drivers rear now compared to the rest of the car and it pulls to the right still after alignment.

Between throwing the belt and now this, mentally, the E55 seems to be slower. HA.

my 20's before felt kind of close to stock for me.. now every little bump is kind of jarring in front... i checked the tire pressure in the fronts and they were at 42, isnt that a bit high?

Is this a common issue with the E55?
