Default air suspension reset

I had a strut air bag go over the winter. I found a good replacement and it seems fine, but the car is sitting low. Dealer tells me that I need to bring in and pay 1.5 hrs labor to have the suspension reset.
Any way around this? Thanks Scott

I guess you have X350, not X308.

I guess that may make a difference. No, I have a 2004 XJR. Thanks for any help.

Hello Saratoga....all alloy bodied cars from 2002 to 2008 are known as X350's
including XJR's
With the fitting of a new suspension unit. it will need to be re-calibrated to get the suspension parameters correct.
I think I would bite the bullet and get it done....at least by a competant department.
