front end is slammed
I just changed my front left wheel bearing and now the front end is stuck slammed and the rear end is up. is there a way to reset the air suspension....or did i do something to the front sensors???? I change the right front bearing before and had no issues with the air suspension. But now its stuck....any advice much appreciated...also i havent driven it yet so there isnt any self level light on

check to see if the front sensors are "turned" around - you know, they look like a human elbow, which pivots/rotates in one direction... imagine an injury to the elbow, when it is "bending" in the opposite direction from what nature intended - that can happen to the "elbow" in the sensor... like an umbrella that flipped under strong wind inside out...

Did i explain it right?

^What Term said. Most likely you altered the front leveling sensor. Should be an easy fix.
