Airmatic - rear axle higher after sensor lever replacement
My indy replaced the lever connecting the rear swaybar to rear level sensor. Now the rear sits higher than it used to, both in raised mode and in normal mode.
Is it possible to have installed the lever incorrectly? Is this lever adjustable?

Maybe installed incorrectly OR Airmatic needs to be recalibrated after replacing the sensor / rod.
SDS or an advanced diagnostic tool can do this.

Ugh. Will look underneath and check orientation, and schedule to get it scanned.
You wouldnt happen to have a link showing how it's supposed to go on, would you?

Recalibrating the suspension is maybe an hour with STAR. Not difficult. Rear axles should be in range of negative 0.9 degrees (highest) to negative 1.5 degrees (lowest). That should bring the camber to negative 1.2 degrees to negative 2.2 degrees.

I've read a bit about it, is this where they attach the special MB tool to the lower arms and you enter into STAR the reading the tool gives you?

I calibrated mine using a free inclinometer app on my cell phone. Use advanced search with my user name and "suspension calibration". I posted a link to it in the past couple of weeks.
