Both can't be right.
Since these are from the 2007 LS460 repair manual, not sure if (how) applicable for the 600.

Thanks! I was a little confused but was straightened out. On mine it's a 5.75" difference between A and B. It's height of A minus height of B. Shoutout to Boykie for that piece of knowledge.

One more tip I figured out after several adjustments that made about 1/4" difference on my FL...

The screw that secures the adjustable link to the LCA has the little washer with a tab that fits into the LCA. When torqueing the bolt, the small tab that goes in the LCA will move slightly (clockwise on FL), but it was enough for at least a 1/4"difference in ride height in my case. I just made sure there was no movement of the tab, keeping it counter clockwise when torqueing the screw, and viola...I corrected the 1/4" height difference to be dang near even for FR & FL.

Hopefully that made sense!

Yes, super sensitive. Once I only slightly brushed the link with a spanner - had about half inch skew immediately...

Also, there is a requirement for the sensor height link length.
