can anyone tell me which off the front ride height sensor is faulty, i'm guessing if the front left:
I'm guessing it is reporting voltage based on where the sensor's arm is in it's travel. Varying the voltage let's the car know height in relation to the other sensors. Maybe the sensors themselves need adjusting in terms of their mounting positions? Have you tried messing with the arms and mounts to see if you can get the voltages to match up?

^That's a guess as to how the system works. I have no experience (yet) repairing the air suspension system personally.
