hi everyone,

i had a tyre problem, so my mate fixed it all up.

he put the jack under the suspension and i heard all this air come out, so i told him to put the jack in the normal spot.

now the side which that happened to has risen quite alot, and the passenger side has lowered.
anyone know how to fix it? it looks ridiculous

cheers!

Check the height control rod, sounds like he bent the bottom ball joint plate, this would make the rod push up more on the sensor ,and would make that side rise.The passenger side has gone down because of the weight transfer

You could bend the plate back !or just adjust the rod (make it shorter)

Did you turn off the air suspension before you jacked it up? I always do and also only rise 1/4 at a time, never half the car. I've heard these systems are a bit temperamental :/ The other guys here seem to know what they're talking about though, just wondering if you made sure that you turned it off before jacking it up.
