Adjusting LX Height

[coinball]

I noticed the LX470 is sitting a little crooked; the passenger front is a little lower than the driver's side.

What is the proper procedure to adjust, crank the TB's, adjust the AHC sensor?

I would imagine you'd have to adjust the AHC sensor for this, as by cranking the TB's wouldn't actually change anything, as the system would just self level again. I'm not the most knowledgeable here though on this...

AHC sensor will not affect the side-to-side lean on the truck.

To level it out, you will need to selectively adjust the torsion bars if the lean is from the front. Alternatively, spring spacers can help level out the rear if that is where it leans (I would start by adjusting front torsion bars first.)

yeah - under normal circumstances start with front first. make sure you're on level ground. if front left is lower than front right you can either crank front left or back off front right - unless you or po messed with the tbs chances are your driver side is sagging and u should rank that to level off (seems common for driver's weight over the years to cause the ds tb to sag sooner than the pass side tb so cranking the ds tb is typically the roght answer).

the reason i would start with the front is that with tb susp up front that can cause the rear to get cockeyed as well. in other words all thing being equal if front left is low it could cause your rear right to be a little high. by leveling off the front you may end up solving the rear problem too.

from rereading the ops post i realize the op didn say anything about rear but that's the principle as i understand it. of course that assumes that the da was always loaded with driver causing ds to sag sooner. but if one's use was different - say always drove with a passenger of rougly equal weigth then i wouldn't expect ds front to sag sooner; and if rear rear left was always heavily loaded then the real problem could be with rear left causing front right to be raised and the rear needs to get leveled off to solve the problem in the front.....
