Airmatic failure ???

When I got home from errands today, my car scraped my driveway lip pretty good and noticed the passenger Side rear tire is inside the wheel well, and when I raised it it only raised about an inch above the tire, and all the others were raised. How do I know to sure if this is a bad shock? And does arnott make replacements? I've searched but all I found is a faulty sensor as a cause, but the rear does not adjust on both sides so idk...

if you have access to STAR you can do a diag test to see where the fault lies. if it is doing it on one side then it may the air bag.
