Could just need a sensor adjusted..

There is a setting in the body control ECU to offset the ride height against the "preferred" height to tune the levels of either side.
Unfortunately you need something like INPA to perform that.
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
