Default Anyone selling a used passenger side shock?

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 2005 GX470 that was serviced at lexus its entire life (including oil changes) with 145k miles. To my disbelief, air suspension works and there are no leaks. The only issue I have is that the passenger side front is about 2 inches lower than the driver side. From what I understand, the front is not air-controlled so it must be a leaking shock (145k miles OEM originals, so thats my best guess). If anyone has an oem passenger side front shock for sale in north jersey or can sell + ship me one, please let me know.

Also, just want to add, I'm in love with this car. I came from a 2005 RX330, I dont think I can go back to anything thats not a V8 lol.

Yeah you are absolutely correct, I got the two confused.

I am worried about what you mean by "or worse" though, what do you think it can be that is worse?
