Reading this thread again for a bit - there's a lot going on I see. Looks like you are on the right track, usedname. Regarding your worry about the voltage at the areas at the ends of the travel of the sensors: There is no need to worry. What happens to the voltage (or resistance) at the ends doesn't matter much, because the active suspension movement will have stopped already when the right voltage is reached.
Shimming or modifying the end stops is not a good idea, as the suspension arms, and sensor links, can actually move a bit beyond what is controlled by the AHC, if you lift a wheel or compress a bump stop. So I would leave them alone, not to risk any bending of the sensor arms.
Looks like you found a problem that could be the whole cause of the "non-zero-adjustment", but better check the other front sensor as well. And you are right in expecting having to replace the sensor. They do wear out, and the AHC ECU is very particular about getting a stable signal from the sensor. Any tiny fluctuation (when there shouldn't one) can give a harsh ride as the ECU might interpret it as a bumpy road.
I think a happy AHC owner is one who has a couple of spare sensors in stock
Just thought I would jump in until Indro is back, but thinking of the rotation of the earth (timezones) I believe he will be back before you read this anyhow.
