uneven ride height, how to fix? Any help appreciated *pics

hey guys if someone can give their opinions it would be appreciated, I noticed today that there is a different in the ride height on my rear wheels, one is fine and the other looks lifted by quite a bit. I recently had the vehicle on a hoist when getting an oil change at the mechanic and havent driven in a few days, will this self correct or do I have to adjust something? I attached pictures. thank you.

The air suspenion acts goofy on these cars when either jacked or lifted.
Reset/deactivate the the air suspension computer by depressing & holding down the ride height/shock button on the console for 10 secs.
Drive the car. Then reactivate it.
There is a section in the owners manual for this.

Good luck

Do you mean the "raise vehicle" button?
Not the "shock absorber" button?

Yes, aka "High Level" button. Anytime the vehicle is lifted off the ground for service, the controls should be set to OFF.

The thing is i dont have the air suspension on my vehicle....just the normal standard suspension.

In any case the vehicle seems to have gone back to the normal level after driving the vehicle. Is there any idea as to how it had originally gotten to that uneven height ? I drive in sport mode every so often and suspension button is almost always at 1 light on rather than 2 lights on

how do i confirm if i have the PASM? I think when i press the suspension button it goes from PASM comfort to PASM Sport (1 light on button) to PASM Sport plus (2 lights on button). I do not however have air suspension as i dont have the vehicle lift button on the console.

Is the PASM only for the air suspension or might I have it without the air suspension?

The shock might have a problem but I would expect the ride would be degraded. Did it ride differently?

PASM option is possible without Air Suspension. You have the buttons for shock adjustment which equates to PASM.
