Default LS460 07' air suspension issue

Hi,

I have a 07 LS460 and lately started having an issue with the air suspension. At first the front right corner dropped completely down. It raised again after restarting the engine. Happened couple of times and I went to the service. They told me I needed a new height sensor on my front right corner because it was oxidized. They cleaned the sensor and told me it needed replacing soon. It worked for couple of days and then started to do the opposite of what it did at first. Now it raises the right side of the car to the maximum height and makes the ride absolutely untolerable. It so stiff that every small bump makes the car wobble around weirdly. I ordered a new sensor and really hope that replacing it will solve the issue but I was wondering if there is somehow a way to readjust or recalibrate the suspension so I could drive it to the shop without knocking my teeth out on the way. I tried disconnecting the battery. First time it worked and the car went back to normal position for 30 minutes but second time it didn't help.

Did fitting new height sensor fix this issue?

Thanks

They probably changed your ride height without knowing it

The OEM air ride is 100% completely height adjustable , from rock bottom slammed to 4x4 status, you can adjust it to any height you want using the stock links.

You have to shorten the links to lower the car , and elongate them to raise it.

You only need to move the arm for the sensor a tiny bit to get results
