Cayenne Turbo sits lower on the right side

Hi Everyone!

Last Friday I became the happy owner of a 2008 Cayenne Turbo. It has 120 000km (74,5k miles) on the clock, from the first owner and I purchased it from the local Porsche Center.

I noticed an odd thing during the weekend however. The right side of the car sits about 15mm (that's roughly 0,6 inches) lower than the left side, both front and rear. This tilt can also be felt while driving, but is not really noticeable when you stand next to the car.

The air-suspension rises and lowers normally, gives no faults indications and does not (at least until now) drop any further during the night.

Has anyone had anything similar?

The car is going in Monday next week for an inspection and recalibration of the suspension (Dealer claims it was totally straight when they did the wheel alignment when I picked it up on Friday, and that they actually already did the calibration back then).

I have the same problem, did you solve it?

Most likely a failing airbag, I have the same issue, will be replacing the airbag and hopefully that solves the problem.

Maybe it needs a recalibration?
