Default Air Suspension issues on the Premium

ok, its been 9-10 months now, and i have only 3500 miles on my gx.

just looked at the back wheel wells.

The left side of the truck in the back is sitting about 1.5 inchs higher than the right rear? I measured the distance between the rims and the edge of the panel in the back. I am baffled. I raised it, lowered it, and still unequal height. Its going to the dealer on wednesday.

When you are looking at the GX from the behind is the vehicle leaning to one side?

why should that matter? is there an auto level feature on this if the vehicle is not level right to left/ left to right...

yeah, its leaning to one side, cause i know one side is higher.

I've heard of this one before; if I remember correctly it had something to do with the sensors on the air springs; a replacement of that part should fix it.

Craig, did you go through your dealer to get the extended warranty or did you use one of the recommended sellers people have listed on this board? I believe we use the same dealer so I was just curious if you got a good deal. I will be in the market very soon.

sensor goes that quickly? very strange. there are no avail appts for dealer until 2 weeks, so i have to wait that long...then who knows if there is a part needed how long that will take.

This was mentioned as an issue on the LS430 UL cars, and I have seen it on my LS as well. The leveling feature is to make the body level, not to make it match side to side. If you place a level on the rear bumper it should be level.

It was probably sitting on level ground when they checked it.

My front passenger side is lower and after 3,000 miles on my 2011 premium still sits lower and is driving me nuts. It does pull to that side and cornering is not good either. Please help and my car was exported so dealer right now is not an option
