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.

Just go up and down on the lift it will auto level, iv had my x5 on the hoist many times sometimes it levels when i lower it down, some times i lift and drop, and sometimes i put key in ignition and it levels

I even have the sls light goin bananas and it still goes to normal always
