Air Suspension uneven riding height
I am stuck with the air suspension of my loved Disco 3! After having changed the front left weel hub I went for reallignment. The guy in the work work shop could not finish the task because the difference in riding height between front left and front right was about 8mm.
Not sure it has sonething to do with the wheelhub change (the job was a bit heavy as I had to take the knuckle out), but thats when I discovered it.
The difference is more or less the same in all settings (low, normal, high). Even when I completely deflate the system there is a a difference of approx 5mm. There is no warning and no fault message.
Acc to the manual, calibration is only needed if sensor, ecu or upper arm is changed, which is not the case here.
Any idea what the problem could be or how to localise it?
If its within 10mm thats the top side of the tolerance and this will not effect the wheel alignment anyway, even if it was 20mm out.
You need to take to somebody who knows what they are doing when it comes to alignment.

Thanks mate; that's interesting. The person in the work shop was very clear when he said that wheel allignment is only possible when the riding hight is even. So he wanted to send me to a Landrover dealer for calibration first.
So what you are saying is, that the allignment can be done anyway?
PS: I brought it for normal wheel alignment as I had to change the tie rod as well.

Attached please find the report from the WHEEL allignment work shop. They say thats best tzey can do without calibration. What do you think about the parameters, is it way out and how does calibration affect it?
