Default 2011 GX 460 - Right side 1-1.5 cm lower

I saw two threads on Premium models where one side was lower, but they did not conclude with what was done at the end.

My Base GX 460 is leaning towards right, about 1 - 1.5 cm (don't think my garage perfectly leveled, but reversed the car and right side was still lower). Took it to the dealer twice already, they found the rear right spring to be weak, changed it, but that did not help at all. Now they are telling me, they measured the 4-5 others in the lot and they all were uneven, probably due to KDSS, and there is nothing they can adjust.

For those who have experienced this situation, what was the result? Should I expect a 60 grand vehicle to be crooked?

I would appreciate any info.

Where did you measure? The hood and the roof of car to the ground? Did you use measuring tape? I guess your tires were inflated to equal pressure...

I took multiple measurements, from each tire to inside the fender, from fender to the ground, from the intersection of the bumper and body on the side. The car is definitely leaning on the right side. All tires have the same pressure.
