"HELP"!!! LS 460 L leaning to right
When I got off work today I noticed my car leaning to the right. I never noticed this before, but a fellow coworker observed it as well when we was in the parking lot. Yes I have the air suspension and was thinking if the air suspension has something to do with it. I have about 92000 miles on it right now and no warranty. Do anybody have any idea how much this would cost and is it safe to drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this time.

Does it balance itself after starting/driving? I had the same issue on my wife's 10 LWB, it fixes itself after starting, brought it up to the dealer attention last oil change and they couldn't find the problem because the car of course refused to do it again while there even after left overnight. They ran all the diagnostics on it and could not find anything.

Sounds like you have a leaking air spring/shock.

It has been almost a month and have not seen it again. Shop foreman at the dealer told me that if the air bag in the shock is defective, it will sag over night. They asked me to take a picture when it does again to change under CPO.
There is a test of raising and lowering the car and measure height low and high. Also, they leave it over night and measure again in the morning.
One other item to check is the height sensor, I believe that you can easily change this yourself.
If I am in your shoes, I would take it to the dealer for an hour diagnostics and change the sensors myself if it is the problem. If it is the shock then that a bigger job.
Hope for the best

This is great news, Thanks. I have a couple of questions: 1. does this change work with my controls in the car. 2. Is it cheaper. 3. Is it better???
