One morning the right side of my car, the wheel well was all the way down on the tire. I was able to put it in the High ride setting, start it up, and then the wheel well raised up off the tire.

Dealer looked at it and said I need to replace the one air strut and the cost is almost $2,000. They said regular non-air struts wouldn't work because my car has a self-leveling feature.

I've read that others have used replacement non-air struts, but I'm not sure that would work given the leveling feature.

Looking for any ideas.

Thanks!

One of many places that has them. And some may have an after market air shock too. For way less that 2k for one.

The air suspension can be disconnected if going to a coil spring set-up. There is this thread in the 430 section on the conversion process:
