AHC sitting crooked. 05 LX 105k

[mkonecek]

Don't know where to start looking. Everything works fine, just annoying when following the truck and staring at it. Appears to sit level on low and high, just crooked in N. Only by 10mm or so. Higher on the right side.
This truck has had some paint work but doesn't show any major collisions (carfax) and all lines are straight. Hoping it was just keyed.
Im gonna flush the AHC fluid when I have the timing belt replaced, don't really expect that to help.

Thoughts?

Higher on the right side or lower on the left side easily corrected at the front and if it's only 10mm that's only a turn or two CW on the low side torsion bar with a 30mm socket. Maybe a spacer for the rear, but get the front level first cause that's easiest. Search "cross level", you'll want to check neutral pressures too. Plethora of recent, searchable AHC cross level and neutral pressure threads.

thank you.....I will do that.

I had the same issue when I got my 02 LX with 95k miles. The driver side sagged noticeably lower than the passenger side, and when I measured the gaps in the wheel wells they were different by an inch.

My mechanic adjusted the torsion bar and that did the trick, though he noticed there was no AHC fluid at all (quite odd because there were no obvious leaks), so he added that as well.

that's good news. Im not afraid of mechanical issues on this truck as much as I am body issues from hidden collisions. thanks!

thanks for the assist

If you crank on the low side torsion bar, it will provide more tension and lift for the low side. But it could settle back to being low because of the way the system works. The AHC height sensors set the ride height, not the torsion bars. There are a few threads regarding AHC pressure, torsion bars, and rear springs that go into great detail.
