Default Ride Height after LCA Replacement

Hi all,

New to the club. I recently replaced the lower front control arms on my 2008 LS460 and noticed the front left side sitting an inch lower than the right.
Any suggestions on a possible fix?
Thanks.

I assume there was no difference in height before? Does it have air shocks? If so, then check the air line to see if it got disconnected or damaged, also check the height sensor for the same. Pre-tensioning control arm bolts on bushings for sure, but I’m not sure that would account for that much difference in ride height. More likely a shock issue I would think.

New control arms can make the car sit higher even when torqued at ride height. It takes sometime for it to settle if ever.
