sitting a lil lop sided

[topher5150]

So the left rear is sitting about 3/4 of an inch to an inch lower
. I can easily fit three fingers between the tires and wheel well on the rest of the car. Any ideas on what to check?

I am no expert but I would vent the rear bags and then let them re inflate to see if they even out.. I dont think the process is too hard to do .. I may be way off base but I do know that there is only one height sensor in the rear...

Good luck , BTW let me know how you make out as I am curious to the resolution.

Get a baseball bat, and threaten the car that if it doesn't "straighten up", you'll introduce it to Mr. Slugger.

How would I vent the bag?

Come on, Topher... you know the standard answer.

But since I like you:

Turn car to ACC
Jack up the rear of the car. Both sides
Air bags should start to deflate.

Just make sure you have enough room to pull the jacks out from under the car when you lower it again and there's no air in the bags.

Now that's funny schitt

my rear was lop sided and it was actually adjusting the front sensor that fixed it

I never have any problems with my rear bags sagging to one side ... LOL

Ummm yes ... put some ramps under the wheels as you will not get the jack out ....

correct
the rear level not height is established by the "average" of the front two sensors.

correct
the rear ride height is established by the "average" of the front two sensors.

I would think it would equalize pressure in both bags equally... like air shocks

well.. your wrong.
the system has no way of knowing "how much pressure" is in the bags.
It works off a "height sensor" irregardless of "pressure".

to level the car, has no bearing on "pressure".


how I described it, is precisely how the system works.

Rear ride HEIGHT is determined by the rear sensor.
Rear SIDE to SIDE level is the average of the front two height sensors.

Thanks for the Explaination .. I was not sure how it actually did figure out the balance
