No, you put multiple posts in LS460, 3rd Gen IS and a bunch of LS500 threads. I deleted or moved and merged them all here
looks like you’ve continued spamming posts now in the LS430 forum and more threads here.
I hate for you not to get any help here but warning you one last time stop the spamming.

someone needs to because I’m afraid what I’m going to have to spend with this one goes out. I might just go aftermarket, it’s probably cheaper.

This person had success with the repair from the dealer, it has pdf's of the procedure as well. Better get the vibration tsb checked while you're there.

Also, from what I can see it was a portion of 2018 models the Lexus fix was applicable.
Other models on Club lexus have more cars and participants and the exchange of info is plentiful.
You seem angry and its easy to fathom the frustration your experiencing. Thus you come off as demanding perhaps.
Maybe if you can outline what 5 attempts were done and not that there was a problem but offering information which would be helpful to someone else experiencing this.
Someone did the best they could and while it was not helpful it was all that was available. Instead you kind of dismissed it.
You want opinions? I think you want suggestions and facts.
Can you offer to how much the car is leaning that Lexus deems is within tolerance? Does the car vibrate?
Are they demonstrating the car is level within spec?
does it change when you take it home and park unlevel?
You bought the car CPO? Private sale? can you verify the car has a clean history with no accidents?
Nobody is disputing your instances but if you raging thru other threads looking for someone to validate your issue or come up with a fix perhaps you need to be patient?
Good luck with your quest and I hope you do offer to contribute the details as it would be helpful to others.

Hi All,
I've noticed that my car was leaning significantly on the left side and during cold starts I would feel a noticeable vibration in the cabin. After doing some research it looks like there is are TSB's for those two specific issues. I took the car into service and they addressed the issues. No more leaning and the vibrations are all gone.

Its a small group and a low volume car.

I have the air suspension too and mine sat at and angle. I brought it to the dealer when it was still under warranty and they told me it was a little off and for them to fix it, they would have to rip out the entire suspension system and re-do it and who knows how long I would have been without my car.
I opted for the Datasystems ASC683L adjustable ride height controller. The instructions are in Japanese but I used Google translate and figured it out. Pretty easy to install and easy to change once you get the hang of it. The only issue is that you have to go to the trunk and manually change the settings. You cannot adjust it from the cockpit
I ended up having to set it to like 1-2-1 , which means low left side, lower right side, low rear
In this configuration, my car is lower and now the right side sits even with the left side. It is stupid but it works for me plus the added feature of me being able to raise my car up or slam it when I want without using spanner wrenches or getting under the car is a huge plus.
