I have read several threads about the passenger rear sag. I cannot come to a definite conclusion here... is this a known issue on 2001 LS430? I finally got mine on a level surface and the passenger rear is MUCH lower than the drivers side.. i mean I knew this but wanted to get it on a level surface. The space above tire to the body is VERY noticeable on passenger rear. Putting in sport mode makes it worse. Its almost like it is broken on that side...

Forgive me.. but what could this be..the air strut? I swear this was replaced years back..have to look through my receipts.

Any info about what this really could be and if a known issue or not is much appreciated.

thanks!

 

I think folks have adjusted to the level of their ULs to eliminate the sag.

 

It's easy to adjust it. There is a thread in the FAQ stickied at the top of the section that has details. Seriously, just need 2 wrenches and a level surface. Don't even need to lift the car up.

That said, the sport mode should be just for the damping. It shouldn't change the height of the car, to the best of my knowledge.

 

Adjusting the pass rear can help with "the lean" but the car will always (somehow) defaults to that corner being lower. As for sport mode, if you want you car to ride low, get on the highway in "high" mode, after the car lowers itself because you obviously going over 62, put it in normal & sport. My vehicle tucks the wheels nicely all by itself ...and you really cant feel sport mode until about 5 minutes after turning it on
