Airmatic question

Hey guys a quick question about the airmatic system. Or atleast thats what I think it is. I was looking at my car the other day with the 20's on it and noticed that my passenger side sits lower than my driver side. About 1/2". Do you think this is due to the air shocks on the passenger side? Any thougths?

you probably need to calibrate the ride height.

you need star. But make sure all your tires are equally inflated, on a flat surface. If you can have it lift up to it's highest point, measure it, then check if it lowers after that point.

I guess I will need to see if anyone in the Northern VA area has Star. I also need to find a reputable shop to roll my fenders.

Information...

look a few posts down and find my recent post about this. My issue is still not resolved, so I would be VERY interested to know if you make any progress here. BTW, when it comes to the rear on the cars, there are no "values", but only one setting for the rear. This is part of the problem.
Please keep me in your loop, thanks.

Sorry, my post is a little farther down than I thought. It's on 3/24, "uneven rear ride height".

question.
can you let all the air out of the system?

in a porsche cayenne, you can unplug the system, and the suv will drop.
