Default 2005 RX330 height sensors problem

I replaced one rear height sensor recently but the height of the car is still very high and the front wheels are much higher than the rear and so when i drive its kind of bumpy. My mechanic said that;s the best they do. Is that true? Anyway that the problem can be fixed?

Pls help! Thanks

there are alot of sensors and control modules used in the air suspension.

thus, lots to go wrong too. you might have to either bench test each remaining sensor.

or cut loses, and convert to traditional suspension, which is what i did/ about 1800 $ in parts.

What exactly does the height sensor control? And just to clarify, this is the part that attaches to the suspension arm on the rear passenger side, yes?

I was told by my mechanic that all sensors work fine now but the front wheels is much higher than the rear wheel? Can I or the mechanic adjust all wheels to the same height?

I thought those were for the headlight leveling system.

Do you have an air suspension? If NO, then

and I would recommend to find a new mechanic. Can you bounce the front? It looks like your front struts are dead.

They are also used for ride height, cars with air suspension and a switch in dash let's you lower or raise the suspension.

I believe the problem is with your struts, possibly worn out. I know the height sensors are adjustable (seeing how I just replaced mine..I only have one on the passenger side rear.)
