2011 Range Rover L322 Sitting higher in front after changing air springs

allen35888 · Apr 21, 2021

Hi Guys!

I would like to ask if anyone has a solution or has experienced the same as me. My Range Rover is sitting 1 inch higher in front than normal after changing air springs and we have calibrated already a lot of times but it is still sitting higher in front. Hope someone can help me with my problem.

Check the height sensor legs haven't got stuck or rolled over. They seize on their footings.

Hi I already checked and we changed to new ones also I don't know why we cannot calibrate it correctly

What software are you using?
Are they genuine sensors?

Launch Software and yes they are genuine sensors.

Is it make specific for your model or a generic model.

Not the springs but the launch diag.

Welcome,as post#2 is the sensor articulation correct I'm sure someone had a problem similar to you try the search facility top right of page.

allen35888 · Apr 23, 2021

Yes it detects the specific model of the vehicle

the front sensors are new. I have tried searching but cannot find someone who has the same problem as me.

If I was you I would double check they are the correct sensors by part number, as the old ones for vehicles not fitted with adaptive dynamic suspension look very similar , but they have different wiring.

You do not say how you are calibrating it? what dimension are you using to calbirate it?

Is the extra height happening straight away or over time?

Cheers

They are the same as our old ones we calibrated it using launch software in my friend's shop. It seems to have little to no effect.
The extra height happens right away but when I'm not using it overnight it seems to be in the correct height the next morning until I turn it on.

allen35888 · Apr 23, 2021

This is how the vehicle looks right now with normal height.

So did you take actual measurements from ctr wheel hub to bottom of wheelarch?

Yes I have the front right now is 21 inches and the rears are at 18 inches and I tried removing the air from the front and rear yesterday and it seems the rear is lower after that procedure.

neilly · Apr 24, 2021

So you calibrated the front to be approx 19.4 inches and the rear to be 19 inches.
Saved those heights in the cars brain and then afterwards it changes the height by itself?

When we calibrate we never got the correct height on what we input it always go to that height and overnight it loses air and after 2 days not using it it’s sitting on its bump stops and there is a suspension fault.

OK, when I calibrate using the GAP IID , .

I follow the procedure, of setting the height to std.

Then it tells you to measure a given wheel ctr to wheel arch using a tape measure, and adjust on the GAP IID screen to adjust up or down until the measurement on the tape measure is the correct distance, then you save that and move to the next wheel etc etc.

So you have to physically measure the distance to calibrate correctly,

Are you just pressing a calibrate button on the diagnostics and expectigin it to hit the correct height by itself?

We are measuring it from the hub to the top of the wheel well and inputting the numbers but the front is still sitting a lot higher all the time.
