passenger side air ride low! NEED HELP!!!

Got a 03 navigator and my passenger side its always lower then my driver side when I park its about 2" or more lower then my drivers side... I know its not the bags there is no leaks. Someone told me it could be my leveling sensors. Is there one for the front and back? Or just one for the whole passenger side? What kind of labor is involed in installing? Do they need to be calibrated to sit at the same height as my drivers side?

thanks

Sorry....

My '99 had air ride, and there was 1 sensor for the rear, and 1 sensor on each side for the front. My '03 doesn't have air ride, but because of the independent rear suspension, I would expect the system to be somewhat different! Not much help - sorry!

I thought there was only one sensor in front and one in back, since the system is only split front/rear, that would make sense. My guess is it's a problem in one of the front shocks. Assume you have parked it on level ground, etc.? Is this when it is running or only after it is parked for a while? Ours is lower on one side after being parked, but it's fine when we're up and running.

there's a seller on eBay where you can get the shocks or rear bags for a good price, if it comes to that. I've had a couple of major problems with ours, but still love it and wouldn't have one w/o it...

Can you get it on a level surface and compare the sag front to rear on the passenger side? (vs. drivers side)

Have you owned this truck long enough and/or have knowledge that it's not been in a major collision?

I'm going with right front shock at this point...

Check with Eddie Spinks at www.americanairsuspension.com He helped me with my '98 Lincoln MARK VIII's complex air system he is wizard at these air rides.

My 03 Expi has air ride - at last it has the manual off switch in the rear cargo area - driver's side. We just bought it a few weeks ago an I have not had a chance to look over the system so I dont know if it has sensors at all 4 like the Navi and my Mark VIII.
