Default LS 460 sagging in rear

Hello , has anyone else ever has this issue ? I have all new air shocks all the way around but it did it before . It seems to sit higher on the drivers side front which causes it to lean on the passengers side rear . Thanks , Kurt

I believe, it is supposed to be a little bit higher on the driver's side.

Set any height you want by adjusting the pot linkage. All you need are a jack and a wrench.

To compensate for a driver weight most of the time in the car. Mine is LWB

In a perfect world, have the car on the ground and crawl underneath with the engine running. There is a potentiometer attached to the suspension by linkage on either side. Loosen the bolt and move the linkage to the desired ride height and tighten the bolt. I'm too fat, so I have to jack her up and put some tape on the linkage rod, to mark the original setting. Move the linkage tighten the jam bolt lower the jack fire it up and see how it sits. Repeat as necessary.

Can you adjust the height on a air ride car with the method you described or is that just for a non air ride car ? Thanks , Kurt

Yes sir , I found it on U-tube , what’s so puzzling to me is that the Lexus people at the dealer ship act like they don’t know want I am talking about . ….. crazy .. they are putting on 2012 control arms and I asked them to level the car …. And they are like we need to run a diagnostic on the air suspension for $150.00 ..
