Thread: Is it a good idea ?

The height sensors can be done one at a time. They're pretty good these days and you may get away without calibrating the EAS, but I'd check regardless.

Assume you've done the storey wilson open/closed check on the pressure switch (you tube it). They tend to be pretty reliable, but no harm in having peace of mind with a new one, given you're showing The Bitch some love.

Thank you.
Never heard of the Storey Wilson pressure check thingy. I will try to find it.

Love it ? it's a Bitch.

If it's not been done before on the vehicle, rather than purchase new height sensors, just switch them L<->R. They are simply a variable resistor with contact "fingers" running on tracks inside the sealed "elbow". The tracks extend through about 270 deg but only a third at most is used. Swapping the sensors side to side means the fingers run on new track sections. "Good as new"!
Hint: use a plier or whatever to ease/squeeze the sensor arm out of the rubber block which is vulcanised to the control arm. Try not to put lateral pressure on the rubber block when removing the sensor arm... this can cause it to shear off the control arm and then you need some very tricky sticky to replace it...
