Hey everyone, I have a 2016 lx and the suspension seems to lean to the left rear side. It varies 1.5 inches down from the right. I took it to the dealer to have it recalibrated but it never fixed anything. Any one see a similar issue?

Was this in normal mode, low, or high? Please post some pics and detail your issue. 1.5 inch is a big difference. Is this when the engine is off or on? Do you have the lowering enable (image of a person with a tilted forward chair?

It should not matter what mode your suspension is in.

If you park it on level ground and it is really leaning 1.5 inches when measuring, you need to take it back to the Lexus dealer and find the service manager. If he says the lean is OK you need to escalate it to the manager of the dealership and then the regional people if you do not get it fixed.

It seems to be 1.5 inches down on all surfaces, I have an appointment with my dealer for this week. If they dont fix it im going to get the service manage involved.

Common problem on GX460 if you read their forum. Lexus never corrected it.

Well, I just measured mine, and the rear is not even. Is that by design? The rear driver side is measured at 35" inches to edge of fender and the passenger side is measured at 35.75". I have about 300 miles on this new puppy. My garage is level.It is sitting on normal mode. All my other BMW and MB cars (not SUV) are level to the T.

My difference is about 0.5". I think that it is still O.K.

The front is off by 1/4". I don't have a problem with either front or back if that is by design and it does not present any reported issues. My first car was an 86' Mustang GT, and the right rear wheel always wore out faster. That was by design.

i haven't measure the height of the LX, but it is seem even to me, not like my 14" GX i can see it lean on the front right doesn't i drive or park, took it to the dealer and they change the front coil and it is still lean.

Does it get worse over time? I wonder if it is just by design. What was the dealer's explanation? I'll check over by the GS subforum and see what people are saying. I will also ask Lexus, but I am pretty sure they have no technical clue since it's rare to be able to talk to someone technical at customer service.

I spoke with 2 service managers at two different Lexus dealerships. Additionally, someone in the GX forum thread also mentioned that a tolerance of .75" (3/4") is acceptable. So if your LX is leaning greater than the tolerance, you should get it into the dealer. It seems the GX owners are still searching for some sensors that will level out the car, but right now, it's guess work and trial and error. If someone knows of the exact component that levels these SUV, please post with information.
