Suspension still Messed
2006 is250 sport with ML driver side rear is lower than the rest of the car. Just the driver side rear end sits lower than the rest of the car. Car only has 38000 on it, car has been sitting for 5 months (wintered) inside heated garage. Babied, has not been driven hard. Has never made any noise ever.
Update: car is on all new wheels. Took it to lexus and they said nothing about it. But it looks like its freaking lower and on a flat surface (level was used) it still seems to be sitting low.
I looked underneath the car and seems like the plastic under the damper is damaged. but thats about it.
What the hell can I do? besides expensive coil overs to fix it?
Is there anyway to Adjust this problem?

Is the rear making any noise over bumps as you drive it? Put your weight on the trunk and bounce the rear up and down for noise. Only reason I see could be an blown shock. But you gonna have to jack the rear end up take the wheel off and look around. You installed new tires make sure your front are your front tires and rear are your rear. Since they are different front to rear.

Yay for British Columbia
I know that the car does lean more to one side with springs/shocks, whether it's to this extent, I am not sure.
If you want it perfect, you would have to put in a set of adjustable coilovers.

Usually you would feel something fairly obvious if a shock is blown. Either a floating feeling over bumps, or a rougher ride.
The mileage is also quite low for stock shocks to go out. Mine went out at about 100,000kms but that was mostly because I threw in H&R springs. Before the springs my shocks still worked well.

I'm in the Burnaby area.
Shock not strut.
