Arnott RH-5238 Suspension Ride Height Sensor - Front Left

Arnott RH-5238 Ride Height Sensor

Arnott RH-5238 is a new suspension ride height sensor that helps the vehicle’s electronic control unit monitor chassis height and adjust air suspension output as needed. It is a direct-fit style replacement for select Chevrolet Corvette and Cadillac XLR applications with front left placement.

Key Features

• Measures the distance between the road and the chassis for suspension height feedback
• Supports ECU-controlled air suspension correction
• New standard-grade replacement sensor
• Black oval connector with male pin terminal configuration
• Single connector and single terminal design
• Fits 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, front left
• Fits 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR, front left

Detailed Description

The Arnott RH-5238 ride height sensor provides the signal the suspension system uses to maintain proper vehicle stance and ride height. On air-suspension-equipped Chevrolet Corvette and Cadillac XLR models, the sensor reports chassis position so the ECU can command the compressor and air struts to add or release air as needed. This helps keep suspension response consistent when the original sensor is worn or damaged. This part cross-references OE number 89047642 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Incorrect ride height readings at the front left corner
• Air suspension compressor cycling from faulty height feedback
• Uneven vehicle stance caused by a worn sensor
• Suspension warning lights related to height sensor failure
• Damage from road debris, water, or salt intrusion affecting sensor operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left placement before installation and inspect the connector, mounting points, and surrounding suspension components for corrosion or impact damage. Confirm the connector shape, terminal style, and sensor orientation match the original unit on the vehicle. After installation, clear any stored suspension fault codes and check ride height operation with the vehicle on level ground.

Quality Assurance

Arnott manufactures aftermarket suspension components with application-specific fitment and OE-style function in mind. RH-5238 is supplied new and built for direct replacement use on the listed Corvette and XLR front left applications.
