Left side is lower
 
Hi Guys,

I am wondering what could cause my X to lean to the left by 1" in the front.Also I can see that right air spring is inflated more than the left one.
Also I had seen some sort of leveling sensor fault code in INPA.
Would a bad sensor make right side go higher,trigger intermittent SELFLEVEL INACTIVE and make the front end sag by an inch?
I always had a feeling that left side is lower,but I always blamed the uneven driveway etc.
Both struts were replaced 3 months ago,mechanic said no word about springs being bad,but could it be a fatigued coil spring?

Anyways,

Any thought and opinion is appreciated.

Yes there are leveling sensors, and yes it can cause all of your problems. Have you tried adjusting the height with the computer. Not sure if inpa can do it.

I haven't tried adjusting anything GT1 is new to me since I finally got it running just yesterday.What a picky setup I should say.
I am gonna have a look at the diagram on realoem and see what can be ordered and changed.
I would rather change the sensors than both coil springs,although I think it would be a good idea.But if I start replacing everything,why not replacing X all at once?
:)
Thanks.

No if you have gt1 don't mess around. Plug it in and run all the diagnostics on the air suspension. It's very straight forward and will point you in the right direction. You have it, might as well use it.
