Ride height sensors

The small lever sensor at each corner that tells the system how far the suspension has extended, so it knows whether to add or release air.

Also called level sensor, height sensor.

How you know it is this

  • The car sitting at a strange height, or one corner much higher than the rest
  • A level fault with no air leak anywhere
  • Headlights aiming at the sky — the same sensors feed the levelling
  • The problem appearing straight after suspension or arm work

Worth knowing before you buy

  • The linkage arm snaps more often than the sensor fails, and the arm is sometimes supplied separately.
  • They need calibrating after fitting, and after any work that changes ride height.
  • A sensor fault can make a perfectly healthy system behave as though it has a serious leak.

What we need to quote it. Which corner, and the fault code if the car has been scanned. The chassis number settles the generation, the body and usually the engine in seventeen characters — it is on your mulkiya. A photograph of the old part helps where there is more than one version.
