Slightly Tilted to the Right
Hello everyone! I’m new here and this is my first post, I hope some of you can help me.
I have a Lexus GX470 2006 Model and when I bought it, it was 11K miles only, now it’s about 25k miles. I noticed that it’s slightly tilted to the right; the front side specially is more prominent than the backside. Do you know what’s wrong with it? And why it tilted to the right? It was not like that before when I bought it. I suspect it has something to do with the height-control but I’m not sure. It does not affect my driving though, the steering wheel is still straight and run straight as well on freeway with even pavement.
Any idea what’s wrong and how to fix this? Thanks in advance for your insights.

No input? I'd like to have an idea before it's next service to Toyota dealer where I bought it. I bought the 5 years pre-paid service with the dealer and I know it's not part of the package but having an idea is better when I talk to the Toyota repair. I appreciate any input.

Celsius, there are many issues to look at, Could be the Suspensions, The shocks, the height Sensors, hit the search button and you will come across members raising similar symptoms. Here is a one to start with, which focuses on the height issues to GX. Hope this helps.

mann777, thanks for the response but the link does not work. I used the search option and found a few postings with similar symptoms. I just hope it's something I did when I tried to press all the buttons by the stick to try to see what will happen but it wasn't tilted when I bought it last year. I took it twice to the dealer already where I bought it for service and it's only my brother who was following me one time on the freeway that told me it's tilted to the right. I don't know anything about a car so I guess I just have to rely on whatever the dealer will tell me next time I bring it for service. By the way, I bring it for service like every 5k miles, is that right? I think it's too soon because it's just a city driving. Thanks.

Celsius,
Here is the link Mann posted above.

And here is another thread that I think is probably the best thread that talks about the tilt issue.
