Okay, I have replaced two busted air struts myself. Now driver side Is up but not correctly driver front way high driver rear is probably in right spec. Passenger front is up more but a arm connection to steering knuckles bolt and stud is still touching rubber tire. And rear passenger is still up in wheel well. I know the level sensors have two in front and one on the rear torsion bar. Front sensors do have voltage as well as rear. The linkages on front look fine not broke or bent.
The rear linkage is still there looks like it could use another but it's still connected. My question is do I need to change or adjust height calibrations or is it more of a leveling valve block not functioning properly?

Hi AWAL615,

After such work, you would need to re-calibrate the vehicle height and the job requires the correct scan tool.
