Detailed Description
The Arnott RH-5242 ride height sensor provides the signal the electronic control unit uses to maintain proper air suspension height. When the sensor reports chassis position changes, the system can adjust air pressure in the air struts to keep the vehicle level. This part number, RH-5242, is built as a new replacement for vehicles that need accurate ride height feedback in the front left suspension location. It cross-references Ford FL1Z5A955A for the same application.
Compatible With 2015-2017 Ford Expedition, front left, and 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator, front left. Common search terms for this part include Ford Expedition front left ride height sensor replacement and Lincoln Navigator air suspension height sensor RH-5242.
What It Helps Address
- Incorrect vehicle ride height readings
- Air suspension compressor cycling caused by faulty height feedback
- Uneven stance at the front left corner
- Suspension warning messages related to height sensor input
- Wear from road debris, water, salt, or impact damage
Installation Notes
Replace the sensor at the front left suspension location and verify connector fitment before installation. After installation, clear any stored suspension fault codes and confirm that the air suspension system levels correctly. Because ride height sensors affect compressor operation and chassis leveling, proper alignment of the linkage and sensor orientation is important during service.
Quality Assurance
Arnott supplies this as a new aftermarket suspension sensor built for direct replacement use in the listed applications. RH-5242 is intended to restore accurate ride height input for air suspension control on compatible Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.
