Default Finally got my GX 470!

Been in search for a grey interior sport package. Just thought i share my new vehicle. It is a 2006 with 123xxx miles. The vehicle does have one items i am weary about. The drive side sits about 1 inch higher (the height adjustment works fine) is this normal? 4 shock/structs replaced 11 months ago with OEM.

Nice ride! Did you look under the seat to see if there's blockage like kids toys etc?

Not normal for it to sit that much higher on the one side IMO. Possible the ride height sensors in the rear need adjustment following the shock replacement that was done? If that's all, it's an easy fix.

nice GX, yeah its not hard to adjust them if its all working properly then its likely from the shock installation, sometimes when you adjust it the car will sit level but after driving around it may need another adjustment.

Fill the tank and then sit in the drivers seat and then have someone else measure the height.

thanks for the suggestion. i will give this a try tonight. I dont think i mind very much of the uneven height, Can not tell if the ride equality is impacted because i am coming from a GS430 and that car drives a lot smoother than the GX in general. But i did drive a sequoia and the GX is a lot more comfortable.
